An Artist Talk, First Friday March 1st, at 6pm is an opportunity to hear Jan speak of her long storied career in the arts, and see some of her newest works of whimsy.
Jan seamlessly combines leadership qualities with nurturing her own creative Art Spirit. While much of her early career was spent creating beautifully composed and rendered acrylic still life’s, Jan’s current work is filled with playfulness. Characters created out of gourds, imaginative hanging characters, all with the skill of a master painter.
Jan has been an exhibiting artist for over 45 years. She has won many awards, and her works hang in museums and corporate collections throughout the United States. Jan has also been an instrumental member of the arts community in St. Augustine. She was one of several artists who initiated First Friday Art Walks in St. Augustine, served in leadership positions with Art Galleries of St. Augustine (AGOSA), The Florida Artists Group, (a statewide professional artists organization) and is a recipient of the St. Johns Cultural Council’s ROWITA Award for her contributions to the arts in St. Augustine.
She says “I have worked to promote and nurture the amazingly talented and diverse art scene in St. Augustine by offering exhibition space to many of our most prominent artists and to network with other galleries in order to keep it vibrant, and to bring new and upcoming artists to the public.”

BUTTERFIELD Garage GALLERY TURNS 20
2019-03-01 17:00 - 21:00 | Butterfield Garage Art Gallery, 137 King Street, St. Augustine FL, 32084
To celebrate the gallery’s 20th Anniversary, March’s First Friday will be a special event offering live music, champagne and creative hors d’oeuvres supplied by member artists. The public is invited to share in the excitement.
The gallery’s founder and fearless leader, Jan Miller, had a dream when she and her husband purchased the building in 1998, to establish a place for some of the area’s finest artists to exhibit their work, and feel free to experiment with mediums and approaches to their art, without the constraints of a traditional gallery. They renovated the entire building, using the second floor for long term rental apartments. Although they sold the building in 2014, Jan was determined to have the gallery continue, and now leases the space from the current owners.
Flooded in both hurricanes Matthew and Irma, the gallery and its’ artists persevered. It is a testament to the success of the gallery’s concept and Jan’s leadership that the group remained together during the major rebuild post-Matthew, and the additional repairs post-Irma.
The “Garage” was built in 1927. After purchasing the building in 1998 Jan and Max found the original neon sign still in working condition and “Butterfield Garage Art Gallery’ was born! Over the past 20 years Butterfield Garage has become recognized for its high level of professionalism and it’s exhibiting artists, and is the “go to” place to find quality local art and contemporary craft. As an artist-run gallery, Butterfield Garage offers direct accessibility and dialogue among artists, patrons and our Northeast Florida community. It hosts ongoing and changing exhibitions monthly, along with artist talks by member artists, contributing to the Art Spirit that is a big part of the ambience of St. Augustine.
Over the years, a total of 130 local artists have called Butterfield Garage Gallery home. A committee of member artists review applications and interview prospective new artists to ensure Butterfield’s standards of excellence are maintained, and it is considered a privilege to be selected into the group.
Now an amazing 20 years later, Butterfield Garage continues as a leader in St. Augustine for original art created by local professional artists. Boasting 32 artists and a wide variety of styles and media, including paintings, sculpture, handmade furniture, custom designed scarves and textiles, handbags, jewelry, mixed media, baskets, photography, mosaics, ceramics, wood crafting, batik art, and etchings.
Butterfield Garage artists invite everyone to come join in the celebration of their 20 years – and counting as a leading gallery in St. Augustine!

An Artist Talk, First Friday February 1st, at 6pm is an opportunity to hear Sydney explain her motivation behind the magnificent cloud paintings she is recognized for.
To stand in front of one of Sydney’s paintings, the viewer is connected back to every moment he/she has been awed by the sky above. Her inspiration becomes ours, to contemplate and appreciate anew. Sydney McKenna’s Florida landscape paintings express the state’s atmosphere in a unique and poignant way. Especially sensitive to the subtle color shifts that occur in the vaporous skies of the South, these original oil paintings are created in the classic technique of the Old World; using thin layers of oil paint to build up a subtle luminosity, unifying classical style with contemporary themes.
Sydney explains her fascination this way, “Over the years of painting clouds I have grown to see quite a bit of symbolism in the water cycle. The fact that it can transform itself, rise into the heavens and move around the world through the skies, is somewhat miraculous; as if the clouds are the ‘spirit form’ of water. They have come to remind me of the spark of life; a lifting of the physical, into the spiritual…. I was recently intrigued by an article describing life systems in cloud formations. This thought makes me aware that the world we experience is really a collision of a multitude of worlds.”
Sydney began her painting career in the Sarasota area in the mid- eighties as a mostly self-taught watercolor artist and gained quick success, winning awards and exhibiting in Sarasota Art Galleries. After obtaining a degree in Visual Arts from Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida and making the switch to oil painting in 1996, she attended a semester of graduate studies in fine art at Cortona, Italy through the University of Georgia. Sydney then returned to the United States, where she relocated to St. Augustine and operated the Sydney McKenna Gallery from 1997 to 2013, and is one of the original founding members of Butterfield Gallery. She sees St. Augustine as the perfect combination of her two favorite locales: European architecture combined with the lush Florida environment.
Sydney McKenna’s paintings are widely held in both corporate and private collections, have been featured on many magazine covers, and have awards and recognitions to numerous to mention. She has grown to become one of St. Augustine’s premier artists.
