The Florida Keys Council of the Arts, in collaboration with Ocean Sotheby’s International Realty in Key West is proud to announce an upcoming show featuring the artwork of renowned local artist, Taylor Hale, whose focus is on the sky and the sea. An opening reception will be held for Friday, July 15th, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm at Ocean Sotheby’s International Realty, 1075 Duval St, Suite 15C in Duval Square, in Key West. Join us as we enjoy the artwork, refreshments and wine presented by Ocean Sotheby’s. All work on exhibit are original paintings and are available for sale. Please RSVP to Michelle at mrodriguez@oceansir.com, or please call Michelle at Ocean Sotheby’s, 305-294-1117 by July 13th to RSVP. Taylor Hale is a native conch who draws inspiration from a lifetime on the water. Taylor is driven by the constant transformations of the sky and sea- exploring what happens as these powerful natural forces interact. Within his work, he captures movement and stillness, familiarity and the unknown, peace and unrest. In each oil painting, he seeks to create a window to connect to another world. This exhibit is sponsored by Ocean Sotheby’s International Realty, and in part by the Florida Keys Council of the Arts. Free parking is available.
