The Art League at Oak Hammock has an Art Gallery in our Upper Commons showcasing quarterly art exhibits of original artwork, including an annual non-themed GFAA judged art show in the fall. Winter and Spring quarter exhibits are often themed, sometimes judged and we encourage GFAA members to participate. Each show has a terrific opening reception.

Christine Brundige, Watercolorist

Christine draws inspiration for her art from the bright colors and light of Mexico, the lush plant life of Florida, and the vistas of her native Colorado and the West. She has pursued the medium of watercolor for the past three decades after working with fabric and various printmaking techniques. It is important for her to capture the beauty and calmness of the moment with bright colors and semi-realistic images of her subjects.

Her studio is located at Art Studios of Grace, which is Studio 13 on the tour. Christine will not be present during the tour, but you will be able to see her work.

Contact her for more information:

Alfred Phillips, Painter

I paint exclusively in acrylics on canvas in what I call a “Contemporary Realism” style often mixing realism with abstract shapes. By layering multiple transparent washes I am able to realize brighter, more exciting colors. My themes are often narrative or allegorical, or just what I see around me including nature and people.

My work has sold internationally in many countries as well as here in the states, and locally to Gainesville residents and businesses.

Visit him at Studio 20 during the tour this year.

Peter Senesac, Painter

My compositions are an expression of the mystery and beauty I find in nature. I look for poetry in the light and atmosphere in a scene. Painting for me is like meditation. It is an attention consuming process of observing and responding whether it's on location or in the studio. I make marks and push paint around reacting to the subject. The result is a record of my responces to what I see and feel about the reference, location, light, and atmosphere in paint. There is a point, as the work evolves, when the painting becomes its own reference. The process is a dance between reaction and control while trying to capture the poetry I see, on site or in the studio.

Visit him at Studio 10 during the tour this year.
