Photographer Dan Voellinger is Butterfield Garage’s Feature Artist for January

An Artist Talk will be First Friday January 3, at 6pm.
Dan Voellinger is becoming known in St. Augustine as the go to photographer for finding unexpected local scenes, both in black and white and color. His photographs exude a stillness and beauty that stops viewers in their tracks. The thoughtfulness behind each shot has a lifetime of experience behind it.
Dan was born into a world of photography. Many of his relatives worked for Eastman Kodak or Xerox, and photography was a popular discussion topic and activity growing up.
He began learning and experimenting with cameras and photography at a young age, and even made his own pinhole camera, which used polaroid film. Hand me down cameras were in abundance, as relatives traded up.
The experience of using film cameras through his early years has given him a greater understanding about planning and composing a shot. Dan has developed an eye for recognizing and composing the “money” shot before he even lifts the camera. His experienced eye, and questioning mind observes the world as he moves thru it, looking for the unique perspective of an iconic scene.
Only then does Dan pick up his camera, and with technical acumen take the photograph.
He has been working for the Navy for over thirty years and had the opportunity to travel the world, with his camera always in hand. Japan had been his base for most all of the thirty years. With the move to Florida a six years ago he’s had the opportunity to meet and continue to learn from many experienced photographers. He loves to learn new ways to produce images that people will treasure. Additionally he is a very active supporter and volunteer with the St Augustine Camera Club and St Augustine Art Association, and his work can be viewed every day at Butterfield Garage Art Gallery at 137 King Street, St Augustine.

First Friday Art Walk with live painter Lorraine Millspaugh

We are excited to feature the stunning paintings of Florida wildlife by Lorraine Millspaugh. Her work will be featured for the December 6th First Friday Art Walk here at Sea Spirits Gallery & Gifts, 210 St. George Street, south if the plaza.

Lorraine’s acrylic paintings of elegant Floridian birds are stunning creations painted with sentiment. She uses mostly acrylic with glazes and molding pastes. She specializes in White Herons, Birds and Beaches, and Sea Turtles swaying to the gentle steering currents of the sea. Her use of vibrant contrasts catch the light in her life-like renderings.

We invite you to come meet the artist as she live paints during the event!

Grand Opening of St Augustine Gallery to honor the Legacy of a Mum

“Unique. Unusual. Beautiful. It’s everything you are and we are at The Golden Gypsy” said Jason Relph. The Golden Gypsy features an eclectic collection of local & international gifts, boho clothing, stealing silver jewelry and esoteric art. “The focus is on sustainable, repurposed and recycled materials when seeking the unique pieces for the gallery. We are a family established venture and understand the importance, heartache and gifts that family ventures afford, so we like to showcase work produced by individuals and families who create from the heart,”

The Golden Gypsy’s Grand Opening is being held between 7:30pm – 9:30pm on the 27th of November, 2019 on what would have been Wendy’s 80th Birthday! The Relphs are a renowned mother and son team well-established in St. Augustine with Crucial Coffee and The Gourmet Hut in the original blacksmith and harness shops adjacent to Fort Castillo de San Marcos. The Golden Gypsy structure is a 100 year old home and a 3,500-square-foot, two-story commercial business location which has been transformed into an exotic, experiential shopping experience, with venetian plastered walls, repurposed wood from a Buddhist temple, and a real life-size teak canoe inspired by the floating markets of Thailand and spice markets of Istanbul.

Wendy died at home, with Jason at her side, the age of 79 years old on October 17th, 2019. To honor Wendy’s style and aesthetic anyone adorned in gold, black, leopard print or faux fur will receive a $50 gift bag at the grand opening along with refreshments, live musical entertainment and a free metaphysical service.

For more information, call 904 417 0094 or email [email protected] . Visit the Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/thegoldengypsy. The website and e-commerce site is slated for launch in Spring 2020 at www.thegoldengypsy.com
