Painter Martha Ferguson is Butterfield Gallery’s featured artist in April
2021-04-02 11:00 - 2021-04-30 17:00 | Butterfield Garage Art Gallery, 137 King Street, St. Augustine FL, 32084
Martha’s Her well loved interpretations of St. Augustine are awash with light and color. Martha will be in the gallery from 11am-6pm on First Friday, April 2, to talk about her work and painting style.
Martha’s style is impressionistic and she paint primarily in oil and watercolor. She loves to paint old gritty towns, capturing the feel of the area and the locals that walk the quaint streets, and is drawn to architecture and the way the light comes through the subject. “I want my paintings to be more than a likeness but an experience or a nostalgic feel. I can walk by the same scene many times and then all of a sudden there is a moment that tells a story. That’s what I seek to capture, that’s when the painting is successful. Painting is a journey that provides me with a determination to learn, create and master my technique, while keeping my own sense of style.”
Over the last few years Martha has become passionate about plein air painting. You may have spotted her around town, with brush and paints in hand. She works on small studies out in the open air, many of which later become larger paintings that she paints in the studio. Examples of both are displayed in the gallery. Her paintings regularly win local and national awards, (In 2020 alone she won five), and Martha’s paintings of old town St. Augustine have become popular collector pieces for visitors and locals alike.
Martha Ferguson holds a BA Fine in Art from Flagler College and in addition, studied watercolor and print making at the University of Charleston and continued studies at The Art Student League of New York and various master artists workshops. She credits Emmet Fritz, a local painting legend whom she often encountered painting the scenes of St. Augustine during her college years at Flagler. It was in those days she fell in love with painting.
Martha has crafted a distinct style of painting that is instantly recognizable, and seem to dance with a liveliness you must see to appreciate.

The Keepers
2021-04-08 17:30 - 18:30 | Zoom
The Crisp-Ellert Art Museum is happy to welcome back visual artist Cyriaco Lopes and poet Terri Witek to Flagler College for a participatory virtual event on Thursday, April 8 at 5:30pm. This event is a collaboration with the St. Johns County Public Library, in conjunction with National Poetry Month. The event is free and open to the public, and registration is required.
Zoom has become a ubiquitous part of both our personal and professional lives during the course of the pandemic. Through The Keepers, Lopes and Witek will utilize Zoom as an investigation of the gap between images and text, as orchestra, as conversation, as interactive performative work. The artists encourage viewers to participate in the creation of both visual and auditory elements in order to generate a unique art experience on this newly popular platform.
We would appreciate the audience’s participation during this event, and therefore we will request all participants to turn on their cameras (aka share video) and unmute themselves during certain segments of the performance. While full participation is strongly encouraged, we understand that not everyone might feel comfortable showing their faces and lending us their voices, and there will be ample opportunity to participate in the event through the chat function.
The Keepers will be the second time the Crisp-Ellert Art Museum has collaborated with Lopes and Witek, and the fifth time working with Witek and her other collaborators. In 2015 we presented Lopes and Witek’s exhibition Currents/Correntes. In 2016 we hosted visual artist Matt Roberts and Witek for their interactive, multiple site-specific digital project Dream Garden. In 2017, we invited Roberts and Witek back to Flagler College who, alongside Denke Chen, performed Implements for Removing Foreign Bodies.
