PHOTO GALLERY: Art in the Park

University Park Country Club resident Ellen Kaiden started Art in the Park 12 years ago as a way to meet other local artists.

Ten-year-old Alexander Mak and his father Kelvin were the most interested in the photography exhibit.

Kathy Blakeman and Caroline Merk were partial to Blakeman’s husband Steve’s leopard photograph.

Lakewood Ranch resident Toby Kline, pictured with her friend Pierre Vautravers, bought the drawing titled “Lunch at the Polo Grounds.”

Snead Island resident Lela McClure came down to support her friend Carl Sheffer.
