The September opening at Gallery of Local Art will feature Carolyn Kraemer, first place winner in the America the Beautiful contest, held at GOLA.
Her exhibit, “Palms and Porches,” will be on display 6-8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 2, at Gallery of Local Art, 208 S. Central Ave., Flagler Beach.
Kreamer is a trained biologist and teacher, who shifted her focus from science to art, as she painted the foliage of Central Florida in its relationship to architectural elements.
Colors of the Florida environment show up in her watercolors in planes of light and shadow.
“She does outstanding watercolor,” said Bob Ammon, president of the Flagler County Art League.
Kreamer is a member of the Flagler County Art League, Artists Workshop Inc. of New Smyrna Beach and the Florida Watercolor Society.
