Emma Greenhill is Butterfield Garage’s February Featured Artist
2021-02-27 11:00 - 2021-03-26 17:00 (America/New_York) | Butterfield Garage Art Gallery, 137 King Street, St. Augustine FL, 32084
Her paintings are a form of visual storytelling, each one full of nature and symbolism, left for the viewer to interpret. Emma will be in the Gallery monday Febuary 1 and Saturday Feb. 27 all day, to discuss her process and the inspirations behind her paintings.
Emma creates these figurative artworks from her imagination. With a rich color palette she sees the canvas as a window to the soul, capturing the strength and vulnerability of women overcoming adversity. Knitted into her work are glimpses of nature, often representing new life, rebirth and spiritual awakening.
​
“Painting is a form of therapy for me, I use it to transfer my feelings and release energy”
Mostly self taught Emma finds painting to be a continual learning experience, persevering to find techniques that transfer what is in her head to what is on the canvas. She finds painting joyful and frustrating all at the same time, sometimes sitting in front of the canvas and waiting and waiting to start and then starting and starting over, then stopping and taking a break then coming back to it until that magical moment, for no particular reason, when things start to flow and it becomes easy, joyful and fulfilling.
The painting “Boca” was inspired by a dog her husband had a very special relationship with and still talks about the special place the dog holds in his heart. Emma painting speaks to the bonds we develop with our pets, and the immense comfort and joy they bring us.
Emma paints from her home, and participates in art shows across the State while being represented by the Butterfield Gallery in St. Augustine. She has won several awards for her work, including Best of Show 2019 at the Old Florida Celebration of the Arts in Cedar Key.

Nancy Hamlin Vogler is March Featured Artist at Butterfield
2021-03-01 11:00 - 2021-03-31 17:00 (America/New_York) | Butterfield Garage Art Gallery, 137 King Street, St. Augustine FL, 32084
NANCY HAMLIN-VOGLER presents BACKYARD STUDIO KITCHEN, a new series of mixed media paintings throughout March at Butterfield Garage. The artist will be present on Friday, March 5th , from 11-7 and will lead a demo/Q&A on the gallery portico on Saturday, March 20th from 1-4 pm.
During the past year’s isolation, She became immersed in a still life series, in which studio ephemera and her environment appear in diverse contexts: abstracted, realistic, within an imagined location. Hamlin-Vogler treats her subjects intriguingly, mixing her favorite materials – paints, pastels, collage, and recycled silkscreens – often leaving the viewer hanging by a thread yet satisfied with multiple possibilities.
Nancy’s artistic life has flowed in a series of interesting transitions. While in graduate school to continue her studies in French Literature, she became enthralled with silkscreen printing after taking a printmaking class at the University of Maine. She designed a colorful series of fine art cards, later to become the trademark images for her greeting card company, Eastern Sun Printworks. Upon earning her M.A., she left Maine and the USA for a backpacking trip around the world. During those profound two and a half years, the traveler kept written and painted journals, collected kitchen utensils and fabrics from many countries and gathered a wealth of experience to enrich her life’s journey and fuel her creative resources. Her career as a fine artist had thus begun.
Fast forward 35 years – after hard work and accomplishment in printmaking, she has refocused her time to paint and experiment in her spacious studio near the Fountain of Youth in St. Augustine, FL. Active in the local art scene, Hamlin-Vogler is a Managing Member of Butterfield Garage, a member of the Art Association and has received numerous high awards in outdoor juried art shows. Last year during the pandemic, Last September, several of her paintings were selected for a stellar exhibition at Chrisp Ellert Art Museum “The Nameless Now, NE FL Artists Respond”.
In 2020, Nancy was recognized with an Art Ventures grand from The Community Foundation of Northeast FL, to explore and reinterpret the contemporary still life genre. Follow her creative journey on her website: www.nancyhamlinvogler.com
Butterfield Gallery is located at 137 King St, St. Augustine, is open daily from 11-5, and has free parking front and back.
