Through the month of June, the Studios of Cocoa Beach features an exhibition of three artists sharing a common theme. Although strangers to each other, their work reflects awareness of our home and celebrates the beauty that surrounds us.
Rose Marie Capasso, “My goal is to create awareness of how we can all help in little ways everyday, with recycling and conserving resources…” Rose Marie works mainly with acrylics on canvas and mixed media. Her three major collections include: the World’s Critically Endangered Animals, Florida Wildlife, and Mandala Art. She is an advocate for the world’s wildlife and her paintings reflect a glimpse into the soul of her subjects. Her Mandalas promote meditative, relaxation and stress reducing benefits.
Jax Kwok, “My artistic creations exemplify the natural beauty of nature, but with touches of whimsy and the magic of fantasy.” Jax Kwok, an acrylic artist, was born in Malaysian and studied in Taiwan. At the present time he lives in Merritt Island, Florida. He has been featured in magazine publications and won art awards locally and internationally. His passion and unique artistic interpretation of both the geography of the land and the variety of floras, enable him to change the "ordinary" to the "extraordinary" in his expressive paintings.
Christine Velez Stone, “Let the color envelope you and take you to a place of serenity. Life is a picnic…Enjoy!” Christine holds a degree in Visual Arts from Berkshire Community College in Massachusetts and studied art and design at La Academia Superior de Arte in Medellin, Colombia. This led to work as a designer and painter including murals, trompe l’oeil, faux finishes and set design for theater groups. Her award winning acrylic paintings have been in art shows throughout Florida.
The June Exhibition, Earth Celebration, runs from Tuesday, June 4 – Sunday, June 30. A reception for the exhibit will be held on Friday, June 7, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. Witness their unique creations at the Studios of Cocoa Beach.
