Naples Art Studios ready for new year of exhibits

Naples Art Studios provides a unique artistic experience uniting three gallery spaces which showcases the working studios of several resident artists including artist/owners Richard W. Rosen, sculptor, and Tracy Magen Rosen, painter/mixed media.
Artistically, Richard Rosen finds inspiration in the works of Calder, Hofmann, Kandinsky and Miro. His artwork combines sculpture and painting and, in the case of wall pieces, woodworking as well. Rosen’s varied life experiences are reflected in this art. His travels, the people he’s met and world events help form the themes in his work. Rosen’s hand-built clay and mixed media constructions are affected by his observations. His work evolves intuitively and is inspired by shapes, textures and colors in nature and in man-made forms.
In 2006, Richard W. Rosen founded what is known today as the Naples Art District. Art Alive events are held the first Wednesdays and third Saturdays monthly from November through April at galleries and studios throughout the Naples Art District.
Current and upcoming exhibits at Naples Art Studios include:
Richard W. Rosen: Rose Series For Betty featuring winged, hand built clay sculptures incorporating various intricately painted themes; through Jan. 4.
Tracy Magen Rosen: A Study For Athena featuring recent drawings and sketches of a Florida panther; Jan. 5 through Feb. 1.
Julie Kimball: A World Worth Keeping – The Everglades featuring the artist’s contemporary abstract tribute to a vanishing landscape; Feb. 2 through March 1.
Naples Art Studios regularly offers workshops and classes. Naples Art Studios is located at North Line Plaza, 2172 J & C Blvd., Naples. For more information, call 239-821-1061 or visit www.naplesart.studio.
