Meet Marie Dyer, other artists at ArtBeat Studios

Artist Marie C. Dyer has embraced and painted the rugged and graceful nature of southwest Florida for more than 30 years.
From her studio at Cowlick Ranch in Punta Gorda, she captures the colors and innocence of her surroundings, from her beloved cows and chickens to majestic shorelines and flower gardens.
Known to many as a signature artist at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates, Marie has been highlighted in such publications as Southern Living magazine and Chico’s catalog, and her artwork has been used in promotional advertising by the City of Alexandria, Va.
Marie’s impressionist style draws the observer into the work, following the path amongst the flowers or paddling by kayak into the still and calm backwaters. Her travels take her to New England in the summers, where inspiration comes from the forests of birch trees, gardens bursting with color and the rocky New Hampshire coastline.
Marie is offering a beginner’s workshop in silk scarf painting on Saturday, Nov. 13 at ArtBeat Studios. All materials (and inspiration) are provided for this class, and you and may register online at www.ArtBeatStudios.org or call ArtBeat Studios at 239-225-9770.
Other upcoming classes will include graphic floral painting and landscape painting on canvas and wreath and bow-making workshops.
Plan now to come to “Meet the Artists” night on Thursday, Nov. 11 from 5 to 7 p.m. Meet and mingle with Marie and many of ArtBeat Studio’s member artists and artisans and enjoy a glass of wine and light refreshments. Entertainment will be provided by the vocal/guitar duo of John R. Butler and Susan Chastain aka “Little Fools.”
ArtBeat Studios Gallery and Gifts is located at 1400 Colonial Blvd., suite 35, Fort Myers, in Royal Palm Square.
