Time to Celebrate Jeanine...she's in Where Women Create & having a PARTY!

I could not be any more honored than to dedicate my "Business of the Studio" column in  the new issue of Where Women Create magazine to my friend, fellow artful entrepreneur and mentor, Jeanine Taylor...

Through the years Jeanine has taught me 

-- and so many of us engaged in the art world

 -- so very much.  

I am truly grateful to know Jeanine and celebrate the acknowledgement in print of her creative business approach, tenure in he art word and her downright hard work...she deserves much praise for all she has done to cultivate and share her know how...

Local Gallery Owner, Jeanine Taylor featured in National Magazine: Where Women Create, Inspiring Work Spaces of Extraordinary Women
 
After 19 years of artful entrepreneurship, gallery owner and southern folk art expert Jeanine Taylor is getting the national attention she deserves.  Taylor will be featured in the fall 2016 issue of Where Women Create in a six page article entitled “The Business of the Studio”. Published by Stampington & Company, the magazine covers inspiring stories of women who have carved out entrepreneurial roles for themselves in creative fields. The article was curated and photographed by Jen O’Connor, who visits the gallery annually with her traveling show of artists under the name Earth Angels Studios.
 
Since 1994, Stampington & Company has been a leading source of creative inspiration around the world, producing over 30 bestselling publications for a subscriber base of more than 50,000 readers.  Editor in Chief, Jo Packham was especially impressed with Taylor’s journey from a Fortune 500 company sales rep to visionary gallery owner.
 
“I’ve had several Stampington magazines available in my gallery for years.  They provide visual doses of creativity and inspiration to me, my staff and my customers,” Taylor explains.  “I’m so appreciative of this opportunity and honor from Jo Packham.  She provides a forum for courageous, imaginative women to share their success and I’m proud to be included.”
 
To celebrate this national recognition, Jeanine Taylor Folk Art will host a magazine signing and release party on Saturday, August 6 from 1 to 3pm. Copies of the magazine will be available for purchase and refreshments will be served. This is a free event. 211 E. 1st Street, Sanford, FL 32771. Phone 407-323-2774 for further information.

....we've been flying south to Sanford, FL 

for 6 years now...

We're just back from our annual appearance at the Jeanine Taylor Folk Art Gallery.... 

....and it was never better.  

 

The show has truly taken on a personality of its own, maturing and morphing with the artists who participate and bring their energy and artful spirits to the venue each year.

And I am so very grateful to Jeanine Taylor and Gallery Manager, Mary Shaw, for hosting us...

We love being there...

The art is amazing, the venue is stellar, and the customers who come through the door -- many old friends, but so many more new to Earth Angels each year, impart their own flurry of excited and enthusiasm to the Artists' Showcase.

Thanks to all who made the show a wonderfully festive success! Olivia, Teresa, Jane, Val, Letty, Lucy and Bonnie...total WOW to all...

Here's Letty Worley & her Letty's Bears...

Here's a peek at Lucy & her display...
