Jo Sinclair Way of BEE-ing
2019-10-27 16:00 - 20:00 | W.B.Tatter Studio Gallery, 501 Anastasia Boulevard, Saint Augustine, 32080
On October 27th from 4-8, the W.B.TATTER Studio Gallery will present Jo Sinclair Way of BEE-ing.
Jo Sinclair has an interest in ancient art. Encaustics is the art of painting with beeswax, resin and pigments. The earliest evidence of this medium, the Roman Fayum Portraits, were used to adorn and thus identify the mummies of the Ancient Roman deceased in 200AD.
Using this art form, Jo has created the series called Way of Bee-ing.
Sinclair was inspired by the volunteer work of her husband Bo Sterk, artist/beekeeper, who had been volunteering throughout Caribbean for about 15 years, teaching and training the islanders in the best beekeeping practices for sustainable development. Since she is allergic to the bees, she decided to paint with the wax instead. Working with the beeswax reminds her of hours spent as a young child under the hot summer sun melting Crayola crayons with a small magnifying glass on the sidewalk. Yet now the process involves the adult artist at play. Today, as one of her mediums, she continues to BEE in the flow with the art of encaustic painting.
Bees Beyond Borders is a 501 3C non-profit (beesbeyondborders.org) founded by Bo Sterk, President, Florida Master Craftsman Beekeeper and President of St. Johns County Beekeepers. the mission is to provide bee biology and bee education and training in best practices of apiary management for sustainable development. With over 20 years of experience, Bo decided to start BBB in early 2019 due to major budgets cuts in governmental spending so he could continue his work with beekeepers throughout the Caribbean, especially in Haiti. Besides the raising funds for further mission work throughout the Caribbean, BBB is presently committed to raise monies to assist the affected beekeepers of the Bahamas for Bahamas Beekeepers Hurricane Relief Fund through CrowdRise or direct donations to Bees Beyond Borders 501 3C.
Come hear about Bo’s mission work, Bees Beyond Borders non-profit, and Bahamas Beekeepers Hurricane Relief Fund. It’s your opportunity to donate to “Save the Bees = Feed the People” during the opening reception event and through the following First Friday for “Way of Bee-ing”, encaustic mixed-media paintings by Jo Sinclair.

Butterfield Garage November Feature Artist and Handbag Designer Karen Victoria
2019-11-01 11:00 - 17:00 | Butterfield Garage Art Gallery, 137 King Street, St. Augustine FL, 32084
An Artist Conversation will be First Friday November 1, at 6pm. Karen will engage in a lively free wheeling conversation to explain how and where her inspirations evolve from.
Karen Victoria has spent decades devoted to personally designing and expertly crafting top tier handbags. She has displayed her creations at Butterfield Garage for almost 20 years.
A long line of admirers regularly stop by Butterfield to see what new creations have arrived, so they can add to their collections. Bags may be made from tapestries, leather, upcycled fur or whatever captures her imagination. Karen’s eye for materials, and her perspective as as a designer is fed by a life full of adventures and changing directions. As you browse her creations, you can almost hear the stories each bag has to tell. No two are alike, yet they each have the uncompromising care and craftsmanship of a Karen Victoria made bag.
On First Friday expect Karen to share a few stories of her life as a free-spirited woman. (Hint: there are boats, jousting and pirates involved). You will learn a little something about materials and craftsmanship that go into her handbags and have the chance to purchase one-of-a-kind bags that will be admired everywhere you go.
Karen’s sewing skills have been honed since childhood, when at 7 she was allowed to use her mom’s treadle sewing machine. Expert sewing knowledge has served her over the years; she has done custom leather work, sails and canvas work, eventually leading her to creating custom purses. The inspiration for uniquely made handbags began with designing bags for medieval festivals, ornate tapestry purses with velvet, fringe and tassels. As she began showing in Art & Craft shows her designs shifted to appeal to a more contemporary customer, which leads to the handbags hanging in Butterfield Garage today.
