Dee is highly recognized for her diverse skills as an artist. An Artist Talk, First Friday September 6, at 6pm is an opportunity to hear Dee’s talk about her processes.
Dee Roberts goal as an artist is to catch the spirit of what she sees, in abstract form as well as through naturalistic wildlife drawings. And catch it she does, regardless of the medium. She works with pastels, watercolor, collage and acrylic, garnering many top awards around Florida and Georgia with all of them. Dee consistently surprises the viewer with the strength and confidence of her work. With minimal brushstrokes her subjects come to life, seemingly ready to jump off the canvas.
In Jacksonville, Dee had a two person show at the Cummer and has art in the permanent collections of the University of North Florida and St Johns Country Day School, and AT & T. Her work has been included in many juried shows at Jacksonville University, Florida State College at Jacksonville, the University of North Florida, the Karpeles Museum, the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens and the Jacksonville Art Museum . She was included in an international exhibit held by the National Watercolor Society and the International Collage Society. She has received signature status with the Florida Watercolor Society. Dee has been awarded many prizes in shows at the St. Augustine Art Association as well as receiving special awards at their annual Honors Show: the Brian Wolfe Award for best painting, the Ann James Prize for Best Pastel Portrait, and Best in show.
This year Dee received the prestigious Carl Steinsieck Award in St Augustine’s Figure show. She enjoys participating in the Art Guild of Orange Park, the Society of Mixed Media Artists and the Jacksonville Watercolor Society. Dee was part of an Abstract Show at the Jacksonville International Airport in 2017 and is currently in a three person show at Southlight Gallery is Jacksonville. Roberts has had notable solo shows at various galleries as well as St Johns Country Day School and the Thrasher Horne Center for the Performing Arts.
Dee was born in Pennsylvania and received a scholarship to the Philadelphia College of Art. After she married and moved to Florida she continued to study, taking courses with Louise Freshman Brown and workshops with Mary Whyte, Mort Solhberg and George James.
Be sure to visit Butterfield Gallery and take in the wonderful work of Dee Roberts.

CUBA…..Through the photographs of James Quine and Jose J. Marti’

CUBA…
Through the photographs of
James Quine, Saint Augustine, Florida and Jose J. Marti’, Habana, Cuba
on September 29th from 4-9 p.m.
With the Hispanic Culture Film Festival coming to Saint Augustine next week, it is only fitting to showcase two photographers whose work has been widely praised throughout Latin America and the world.
James Quine is a St. Augustine, Florida based photographer who specializes in documentary, editorial and fine art photography. He began photographing Latin America in 1980 during a trip to several Caribbean countries to prepare photographs for a book on Spanish colonial archaeology. His personal photographs on that trip inspired a long-standing fascination with Latin-American music, language and culture. Since then, he has traveled and photographed extensively throughout the Caribbean, Central and South America and Mexico.
Quine’s images of Cuba are part a project that has been ongoing for 17 years. In that time, he has made over a dozen trips to the island and has photographed in Havana and all of Cuba’s 15 provinces. His photographs have been exhibited in museums and galleries in the US and Cuba. They have also been widely published and represented in public and private collections. Shared Vision, a 2005 project documenting Baracoa, Cuba, for which he acted as director and participating photographer, was awarded grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Florida Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Arts Council. That same year, Quine’s work was included in the book and exhibition, Viajeros: North American Artists/Photographers’ Images of Cuba. In 2014, Quine contributed an introduction with images to a definitive book on contemporary Cuban photography, The Light In Cuban Eyes. His book, Cubanos: Photographs of Life in Cuba,
José, or Martí (as he is usually called), is a self-taught documentary and fine art photographer. In 1968 he took his first steps in photographic study under the tutelage of the master photographer Alberto Korda, who introduced him to underwater photography.
In his initial work in the field, Martí first mastered photojournalism, as a way to chronicle, question, and provide an insight of politics and the culture of Cuba. Throughout the 1970s, he extensively documented sugar cane fields and Cuban efforts to achieve the “Ten Millions [tons of sugar] Zafra”. Also, he is one of the few Cuban photographers who lived through the events of the massive “Mariel” emigration of Cubans to Miami in the early 80’s. Martí created many photos—often from a news boat—of those who left, and those who returned after an unsuccessful trip.
In 1999, Martí became an independent freelance photographer and began documenting the idiosyncrasy and culture of the Cuban people, not only in Havana, where he lives, but also deep in countryside communities. During his almost half a century behind the lens, he has also exploited commercial, landscape and portrait photography. In keeping with one of his first photographic interests, he has juried several Cuba and International underwater photography contests over the last 7 years. His black and white fine art photos (film and digital) are recognizable because of his high-contrast style.
Martí’s photographs have been included in 63 collective and 11 solo exhibitions and he has been the recipient of 14 national and international awards. His work is represented in public and private collections in the USA, Great Britain, France, Malaysia, Italy, Mexico, South Africa and Cuba.
Martí is a member of the Cuban Association of Writers and Artists, and the Fototeca de Cuba. He has collaborated with the Santa Fe Photographic programs in Cuba since 2011.
