Residents Judy Herman and Barbara Mishkin co-chaired the event. Mishkin said it is a wonderful event to share one's passion for art with fellow Seaplace artists and sell it to neighbors and friends.
Mishkin’s art is connected to her nonprofit, The Inspiration Project. Each piece has a motivational quote to go along with the art. She also was selling her book, “TIP’s Magical Journey: The Ride of Discovery and Inspiration.”
Herman said that her art differs depending on her mood and what’s happening in life. Along with her paintings and drawings, she makes cards and paints on clothing.
Madeline Walker painted live at the art show. She said she does mostly watercolor pieces inspired by her loved ones and her surroundings.
Donna Blansfield put on display her most recent art piece, along with two books she wrote. She shared that as a former math and science major, she decided to take up different art forms such as painting and writing literature to keep her busy during retirement. Her novellas are titled “Joanna’s Secret” and “The Journey Home.”
Two other Seaplace residents sold their books at the Seaplace art show. “Conquering the Life-Balance Hoax” by Donna Cornell shares Cornell's thoughts on how it is impossible to achieve a balanced life and people should focus on living day by day. Retired nurse Linda Harris wrote about her discoveries fighting fibromyalgia in her book “The Fibromyalgia-TMJ Connection.”
Many Seaplace residents came to the Sunday event to browse the variety of paintings, clothing, cards, books and gifts. There were also Champagne and light bites to enjoy.
“What I like about this is bringing the community together,” said Michael Renick, president of the Seaplace Board of Directors. “Who would have known we had so many artists and authors? It shows me the different kinds of people at Seaplace. We all are a part of different age groups, have different interests and are from different places.”
