"Places: Real and Imagined" by Babette Arnold
2025-07-26, 2025-07-25, 2025-07-24 | Art Corner Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, F, 33618, United States
Born in Canton, Ohio, I have always loved to draw. I graduated from Miami University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Though printmaking was my major, I fell in love with oils, which is what is displayed today.
My career eventually took me to Key West for a few years and to Tampa, where I began to experiment with mixed media of watercolor and pastels.

"Life's Journey" by Magdalena Argiry
2025-07-26, 2025-07-25, 2025-07-24 | Alcove Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, 33618, United States
At age 40, a neighbor asked me if I wanted to join her for an evening art class. A few basic classes later, “Light against dark” became a skill. At the age of 83, I began painting again – and haven’t stopped since. My days are filled with creating art, searching for inspiration, and sharing my work with fellow residents to brighten their days and spark conversation.
Through my paintings, I hope to encourage others to embrace creativity at any age. My journey is a testament to the idea that it’s never too late to begin something new. I hope my work will be a celebration of resilience, lifelong learning and the power of art to connect and uplift.

2025-07-26, 2025-07-25, 2025-07-24 | Corridor Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, FL, 33618, United States
We have been painting together for a while now, and somewhere along the way, we discovered that we were all studying French independently. This inspired us to put together a group show entitled “Les Trois Amies.” The show features artwork from all three of us, reflecting our individual voices and shaped by our time spent making art together.

"Painting for Hope" by Carol Harden Hall
2025-07-26, 2025-07-25, 2025-07-24 | Lobby Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, 33618, United States
Carol Harden Hall, a native Floridian, earned a BA in Fine Art from the University of Florida in 1974. She taught art in private schools in Tampa, FL., and gave private instruction in painting and drawing to children K-12 for several years while raising her family. She also freelanced as a faux finisher for many designers in the Tampa Bay area and painted pastel portraits by commission. In 2014, she dedicated herself to painting full-time in oil and pastel, pastel being her primary medium.
Carol is a juried Master’s Circle member of The International Association of Pastel Societies (IAPS), a Signature member of the Pastel Society of America, a Signature member of the Pastel Society of Tampa Bay, and a juried Associate member of Oil Painters of America.
Carol is an exhibiting artist member and past president of the Boca Grande Art Center in Florida. She currently serves on the board of the BGAC and serves on the board of IAPS as the 2nd VP.

Artist Statement:
I have been doing something with the arts my entire life. I have always loved color and liked the “hands-on” qualities of many different
mediums, from drawing and painting to ceramics, fiber arts, and many others. Making art is not only a means of self-expression but a form of
continual growth and renewal. I now spend all my time painting in oil and pastel, enjoying the tactile and visual qualities each has to offer.
When painting, I can lose all thought of time and everything around me except my work. Painting is a spiritual exercise for me and is very
healing. It is a necessary part of my life. I enjoy painting various subjects, from land and seascape to human figures, wildlife, and still life. Each offers its unique opportunities and challenges to study light and value contrast. Whatever I paint, I simplify the composition to what it is about the subject that has attracted me and to convey that in a manner that will draw the viewer in to complete the story.
100% of my sales go to charity, including :
1. The Spencer Hall Memorial for Mental Health, a foundation started by my husband and me in 2017, to promote an awareness of suicide prevention and of the needs of those who struggle with mental illness and to provide help to those in crisis.
2. Joshua House is a home founded by my husband and four other Tampa men over 30 years ago for the protection of abused, neglected, or abandoned children.
