Manon Sander at Lost Art Gallery

Lost Art Gallery is excited to feature Plein Air painter Manon Sander at October’s First Friday Art Walk, October 6, from 5-9. The gallery will be exhibiting new images including local scenes recently painted on the streets of Saint Augustine. Join us to meet Manon and find that special painting that speaks to you!
During years spent studying oil painting under the tutelage of nationally known oil painters, Manon developed her own distinct style often described as “representational with an impressionistic touch.” Florida is a cornucopia of inspiration for this transplant from Germany. More important than the subject matter itself, is Manon’s goal to capture the effects of light and fleeting momentary impressions. Because she expresses this through her use of interesting patterns, luminous color, and luscious brush strokes, Manon continues to be accepted into exclusive painting events where she regularly receives awards and recognitions.
Ultimately, Manon aims to communicate her joie de vivre through paintings that reflect the color, light, and joy Manon feels surrounded by and is ever so grateful for. Be the first to view her fantastic new works of St. Augustine at Lost Art Gallery at 210 St. George Street in Saint Augustine (south of the Plaza).
