July is Mermaid Month at Artful Living Group

Felice Kite’s “Mermaids” exhibit will be Artful Living Group’s featured artist for July with the opening reception on July 2nd from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm.

Felice Kite is an artist and interior designer, native to the Washington DC area. Twelve years ago, she and her architect husband fell in love with Carolina Beach and purchased a cottage a few blocks from the ocean. "It's a dream come true for us. We've made so many wonderful memories with family and friends on the island. It is a very special place."

She mixes whimsical designs with inspirational sayings on wood sheets, pallets, doors and canvases to create shabby chic paintings perfect for beachy decorating. Felice upcycles mix media with bold colors for her lovable mermaids. Over the last several years, Felice has turned her love for painting into a successful cottage business. In addition to original paintings, Felice now sells posters, cards, and upcycled painted furniture. She uses her interior design skills to coordinate colors, shapes and textures for custom orders that brighten beach homes in the area.

“Mermaids” will be on exhibit in Artful Living Group’s upstairs gallery through July. Come meet Felice on July 2nd and “become a mermaid” with her.

 Artful Living Group’s objective of bringing affordable fun functional art to the public and the public to great artists is enhanced by enabling people to experience the creative process through events and studios where artists can share their inspiration and work.

Artful Living Group is located on Carolina Beach and is open everyday during the summer season.

Artists Draw Beauty from Nature at N.C. Aquarium at Fort Fisher

Come take "A Walk in the Woods" and explore colorful art at the N. C. Aquarium at Fort Fisher.

The newest installation in the Aquarium's Spadefish Gallery, entitled "A Walk in the Woods: North Carolina's Maritime Forests," showcases the artistry of the Raleigh-Durham Chapter of the Colored Pencil Society of America (CPSA). On display from now to March 1, the creative works celebrate the rich animal and plant diversity of maritime forests along our coast.

These unique ecosystems have adapted to the effects of salt spray and wind because of their proximity to the ocean. Each of North Carolina's maritime forests is slightly different from the next and provides habitat for migrating and resident wildlife and a great array of plant species.

All pieces in the show are original and while other medium, such as watercolor or pastels, can be used, these pieces are at least 75 percent colored pencil.  Fine art colored pencils offer color intensity, depth and the ability to create fine detail ideal for illustrations, representational art, nature paintings and portraits.

The Spadefish Gallery at the N.C. Aquarium at Fort Fisher showcases artists throughout the year. Artwork that coincides with the Aquarium's mission of "Inspiring Appreciation and Conservation of North Carolina's Aquatic Environment" is located on the second floor of the Marine building, near the auditorium.

The Raleigh-Durham chapter of CPSA has a mission to support artists throughout the Carolinas.  For more information, visit the Colored Pencil Society of America website atwww.CPSA.org.
