Fifteen local artists have shared their collections and creativity during an event. The art event took place at Coppertail Brewing Company’s private loft above the brewery at 2601 East 2nd Ave., Tampa.
Jayne Lisbeth of Seminole Heights, one of the organizers, said pets are welcome.
“We have a lot of art and jewelry, which everyone loves,” she said. “There was beer and food trucks. It’s a one-stop shopping and love experience to celebrate your mom. People came out and did something fun with her[sic] all day.”
She said people will find items and experiences that are non-traditional and unusual. For example, artist Theresa Crout will sell her handmade “voodoods” or voodoo doll art.
Also, Victoria Hawkins gives intuitive art readings.
“She sits down with someone and talks to them about their lives and who they are and take down notes,” Lisbeth said. “As they are talking, she does a painting. At the end of the reading, they get the painting and the notes incorporated into the painting.”
Other participating artists include Francine Bauer with her original oils and encaustic paintings and Judy Bales, who is a printmaker. David Beebe, an art photographer, will share his cards and prints along with his artist wife, Patricia, who sells watercolors. Lisa Gellens and Stephanie Harden are jewelry makers who will be on hand. Other artists include Lisbeth’s husband, Tim Gibbons, with his acrylic paintings, original pen and ink drawings, prints, collectible toys, comics, and vinyl. Macy Higgins will sell acrylic paintings and prints; Matthew Johnson has original illustrated clothing and screen prints. Colene Milligan sells acrylic paintings; Lloyd Johnson sells space-age gun sculptures; Teri Navajo has original paintings and prints; Gianna Pergamo has mixed-media paintings and art objects; Hoolie Prytyka has original paintings, prints, apparel and gifts; and Mary Sultenfuss sells original paintings.
Coppertail Brewing is known for its craft beers that accompany the Beastro food truck’s menu offerings.
Gibbons, an art instructor, said the event is meant to intrigue moms.
“There’s something here for moms of all ages,” he said.
Navajo, an abstract artist who teaches spiritually intuitive-guided painting workshops, said she is passionate about art as well as craft breweries. She will be one of the artists showing and offering her art.
“We hope this was a great treat for her special day,” Navajo said.
