The inaugural exhibition at the Hale Gallery in Islamorada invites viewers to explore the magic and beauty of nature featuring macrophotography by Ashlie Johnson Coggins, paintings by Jul Jankowski and Kathryn Crawford, as well as botanical installations by Sue Wright, Christy Perez and Jacque Barnes.
“We are thrilled about this first show,” said Kelly Hale, who owns the gallery with her husband, Taylor. “The artists’ unique perspectives blend together to create a beautiful, dreamy feel that celebrates the power of plants and hopefully brings viewers closer to understanding that humans, too, are a part of nature.”
The exhibition opened Aug. 12 with a well-attended reception.
“This was the largest reception we’ve seen in the space to date. It was exciting to see four generations of art lovers together in one place,” said Angela Valdesudo, office manager at Ocean Sotheby’s, where the gallery is located.
The exhibition is on view through Sept. 30. Visitors can stop by the gallery, 81888 Overseas Highway Unit 2, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m to 5 p.m. To make an appointment with a gallerist, please call 305-204-1216.
