Joanne Golenia
As an avid painter, I have worked with the arts all my life. I have exhibited in international venues, including the International Festival in Houston, Texas, the Carnegie Center for Art and History in New Albany, Indiana, and the Schweinfurth Memorial Art Center, Auburn, New York, as well as locally in the Sarasota Orchestra Harmony Gallery, Art Center Sarasota, Lighthouse Center for the Arts, Tequesta, FL, and the Venice Art Center. I earned my BS and MS, teaching for sixteen years before devoting myself full time to my art.

“Preserving Memories – Turning Snapshots into Art”
Gary Felfoldy, Venice Artist/Photographer
June – December 2024
Inspired by a 2011 Venice Art Center exhibit of Florida Highwaymen landscape artists, Gary began teaching himself to paint in 2016, at age 70. More recently, he has begun to use computer tools to enhance digital photographs and scanned images. Having applied these tools to restore and preserve photos drawn from albums and scrapbooks passed on by his late mother, a portrait artist herself, friends and neighbors now often ask him to transform their favorite snapshots of friends and family members, pets, homes, events, floral arrangements, travel venues – anything of significance in their lives – into beautiful, framed artwork. The results can be realistic or digitally enhanced to look like paintings. All are meant to capture and preserve treasured memories.
