"Far from the Tree" by Peggy Roberts
2023-09-27, 2023-09-28 | Carrollwood Cultural Center, 4537 Lowell Road Tampa, Fl 33618
“Uncommon thinkers reuse what common thinkers refuse.” – J.R.D. Tata
Whether an uncommon thinker or just a seeker of uncommon art materials, mixed-media artist Peggy Roberts challenges herself daily to transform Florida’s very common cast-offs into colorful, whimsical creatures.
Peggy repurposes palm fronds and seed pods others throw away, metamorphosing them with jigsaw and acrylic paints – adding eyelashes, manes, and other features from additional palm tree parts.
Hailing from Bradenton, Florida – just a bit south of Tampa – Peggy is rarely frond-less. She continues to be influenced by the area’s many varied palm trees. She is inspired by the opportunity to excite others with her repurposed artwork.

Artist Statement
In Florida, we step over them, swerve to avoid hitting them, and pile them at the curb for collection. But one day, I picked one up and studied it. And at that moment, I fell in love with palm fronds. Often, I see my next piece in a frond or seedpod. Just as often, I search my tangled stockpile for one I can transform.
My jigsaw takes my sketch from paper to frond; then I sand the edges until smooth. I mix acrylics with a paint additive to smooth them and slow drying time. For some pieces, I paint directly on the frond’s surface. When working with curved or deeply grooved fronds, I paint on a flat surface and, once dry, affix the paint to the frond. This technique also allows me to add wrinkles and folds when needed.
Depending on the creature, I add eyelashes, manes, tusks, etc. – all made from palm tree parts – then seal the front and back.
I find joy in repurposing materials most people throw away. And I am thrilled when people tell me my whimsical creatures make them smile.
– Peggy Roberts, Frond Artist

Rehearsal: New Horizons
2023-09-28 09:00 - 13:15 | The Studio, 13345 Casey Road, Tampa, FL, 33618, United States
The New Horizons International Music Association (NHIMA) is a worldwide organization comprised of more than 250 New Horizons groups with 10,000 members. Some played music during their school years and stashed their instrument in a closet, or attic while the demands of work and raising children took center stage. Others dreamt of being a musician but never had the opportunity, or the money to pay for lessons and instruments when they were school age. Both groups find themselves now at or near retirement with children grown and gone, fewer responsibilities, but just as much desire.
The NHIMA provides opportunities for adults to be involved in a band – whether it’s for the first time, or the first time in a long time. Together we learn and perform in a friendly and positive atmosphere.
