This past weekend was the Second Saturday ArtWalk in St. Pete, Florida with numerous galleries staying open into the evening. Above are images from the recently opened Drew Marc Gallery, part of The Factory St. Pete’s complex in the Warehouse District. In addition to the artwork, the gallery also had live painting by Michelle Gordon.
At Morean Center for Clay is Lauren Hope: Time (pictured below), a solo exhibition that includes the artist’s ceramic work and photography.
From the gallery-
...Time is an investigation of alternative photographic process, using clay as a catalyst for record keeping. Using ceramic vessels as pin hole cameras, Lauren captures moments in time and transfers them onto ceramic surfaces. This exhibition will be a collection of photographic prints, vessels, cyanotypes, and handmade pinhole cameras.
Her statement about her work-
My work is heavily influenced by the complexity of hues, forms, and patterns found in the natural world. This studio practice has become deeply cathartic, signifying the ephemeral and fleeting notions of time.
Ceramic vessels within this collection are wheel-thrown, altered, and sculpted. Every striation carved serves as a visual representation and a gentle reminder of the delicate passing moment. This method of subtractive carving has become transformative, developing into deep states of meditation and reflection.
Experimental photography is used as an explorative process, allowing for the convergence of internal and external experiences. By casting memories and photographic recollections onto stoneware, I attempt to immortalize my profound experiences and revelations.
This exhibition will be on view until 12/30.
At Soft Water Gallery are two exhibitions- Water Relics, watercolor work by Carol Carter on view until 1/6/24. Women of the Diasporas, which just opened, consists of work by four Florida artists who have migrated to the United States from various parts of the world- Alicia Brown (St. Ann, Jamaica), Kate Downing (Sheffield, United Kingdom), Anja Palombo (Hamburg, Germany), and Vlasta Smola (Ukraine). It will be on view until 2/3/24.

Finally, John Monteiro’s exhibition continues in The Factory’s gallery space. The show includes several of his paintings, drawings and illustrations. His scratchboard work, like Shattered, pictured below, is particularly impressive.

Lindsay Oesterritter has created several lovely works for her current exhibition Orientation at Morean Center for Clay in St. Pete.
From the artist about her work-
“When I work with clay, I aim to convey a narration of time and place. I work in an intentionally straightforward manner, choosing the clay and combination of processes for the marks that will be left on the vessel. The processes of making are recorded on the surface of the object and begin to reveal the qualities of the material and tell a visual story.”

Urban Chic Two Groom Wedding in St Petersburg - Austin & Philip
Urban Chic Two Groom Wedding in St Petersburg – Austin & Philip
Austin and Philip have a wonderful love story. They were married by Austin’s uncle and featured a hand fasting or tying the knot ceremony surrounded by family and friends at the Historic Morean Center For Clay in St. Petersburg. The venue is urban chic, with brick walls and wide oak beams. A piece of the Berlin Wall stands outside, and signifies freedom and an end to the tyranny.
They chose a Mid…
