Lot # : 45 - Leoma Lovegrove Painting

Leoma Lovegrove painted this extrodinary work of art live at the Venice Art Center in only seven minutes! She graciously donated her painting and all proceeds go back to the Venice Art Center. More about Leoma Lovegrove: It was inevitable that Leoma Lovegrove would become an artist. She grew up in a small Indiana town surrounded by the cows across the street and the work of her artist mother Rosemary Goyer Lovegrove. As a child, she even painted her sheets. She also inherited her mom’s joie de vivre, and that quality fills her art! Whether it is twisting balloons into hats, installing mannequins on the roof of her gallery, or shooting glitter from a cannon, Leoma always brings fun and excitement to her audience. It is not unusual for her to paint one of her signature hearts right onto a visitors jacket while they wait. She always says “You’ll dry in about thirty minutes! ! Leoma is not only a painter. She’s also a sculptor, fashion designer, playwright, performer, illustrator, gardener extraordinaire, and fisherwoman. Devoutly Christian, she is a philanthropist who donates to many charities.” Art fills her life from dawn to dusk. She’s even been known to paint messages on her husband’s breakfast banana. Leoma’s husband, Mike Silberg, is a minister and the author of Falling in Love with the Prince of Life. Leoma begins her day at 4 am with a paintbrush in her hand and continues to create throughout her day. She may pull out one of the rocks she carries in her pocket and paint the flora and fauna in her Florida garden in an impressionistic manner, bursting with vivid color. Her style is one hundred percent Leoma! Based during the winter in her Matlacha Island international headquarters, Leoma spends the remainder of the year traveling with her mobile studio. Her work can be seen in art museums, private collections, and major department stores globally as well as in three presidential libraries! Sought after as a teacher, Leoma teaches in France and hosts two workshops in the United States each year! Leoma is currently working on what she feels is the project of her lifetime. Once completed, it will find a home in a Florida museum. Updates on this legacy work will be posted on LeomaLovegrove.com. Leoma sums up her creativity by saying: “Your Life Should Be A Work of Art” Purchaser is responsible for any and all shipping costs.
