AUGUST ARTISTS
A Father & Daughter Show
"GENERATIONS"
August 2nd through August 30th in the Mook Gallery
The art reception will be held on
Thursday, August 12th from 5:30-7pm at Center Place.
This unique show brings together for the first time long time artist Pam Reeves (Patton) and the new artistic talents of her father Bill Reeves. It's heartwarming to hear stories of fathers and daughters having special moments together. Bill and Pam not only have found a shared passion for art but have taken that to a new level, in which they get to share their works in this gallery event. The show will exhibit about 25 works from each artist. The works are in a variety of mediums, styles, sizes and prices and will no doubt have an appeal to all who view it.
Pam is noted for her Historic Tampa work, and her clients included Mayor Pam Iorio and the TECO Streetcar System. Pam attended The University of Tampa on an art scholarship, served at President of the Brandon League of Fine Arts, was Emerging Artist of Gasparilla Art Festival, and has won various awards for her art. During her time in the Brandon League of Fine Arts her father Bill joined with an emerging interest in art. Though never picking up a paintbrush Bill dived into the league and served on the Board, and began to develop an interest in his creativity.For the past several years Bill has been a student of the arts, attending workshops out of state, ongoing classes, and attending art festivals to explore different styles. Bill and Pam not only inspire each other as family, but now in a unique artistic manner. Both are ready to share with the community their combined love of art.
They invite everyone to join in this once in a lifetime opportunity!
