From the POA Welcome to Rosemary Beach!

By Lee Nettles,

Welcome to Rosemary Beach.

The intense heat has subsided, the beaches are less crowded and the evenings are shining with our trees adorned with winter lights. This has always been one of our favorite times of the year. We hope you enjoy your stay in our town this winter season.

The special events that occur in Rosemary Beach and the surrounding area are a treat for all who participate. The annual Thanksgiving 10K Run is a wonderful kickoff to the holiday season, our Christmas Tree Lighting is an experience to treasure and our holiday Farmers Markets serve as a great way to take in all that Rosemary has to offer during the winter season.

Spend an evening with a bonfire on our half-mile of beautiful beaches, or spend time touring our town and experiencing the Sculpture Exhibition with nine new installations on display throughout our parks and greens. Begin 2025 at one of our New Year’s Eve parties in the area. This is a time when so many memories can be made, enjoyed and cherished.

Founded in 1995 and turned over to the Property Owners Association in 2005, Rosemary Beach is a town like no other. It is made up of 607 commercial and residential properties and a community of owners who welcome you to experience the beach oasis they are fortunate enough to call home.

The town is managed by a Board of Directors composed of the community’s elected representatives and operated by an outstanding staff. Our security team is here to assist in times of need, our beach staff can provide an enjoyable experience on our white

sandy coast of the emerald waters of the Gulf. Our maintenance team keeps our pools, parks, and common areas clean and operational for our owners and guests, and our management and administrative teams keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

Richard Sexton notes in his book Rosemary Beach (available here at The Hidden Lantern bookstore on North Barrett Square), as he shares many of the interesting stories behind the first 10 years of the community’s existence after its founding in 1995:

“Town building and governing is, in fact, a continuous process that never truly reaches a point of conclusion to be followed by a period of static existence.”

He goes on to describe the many elements necessary to support full-time residents that had already, by that time, been established here. To Sexton’s point, we realize that, in order to achieve our Vision, we must actively focus on protecting, preserving and extending the many assets of this community. Governing a town as special as Rosemary Beach is frankly not easy, but it is always worth the effort.

Rosemary’s Town Center consists of top-quality restaurants, premier retail shops and lodging that are second to none. Our tennis courts and fitness center are available for your enjoyment, and if you need some additional pampering, relax with a massage or manicure at one of our spas.

We welcome you and hope you experience all that our community has to offer. During this quieter time of the year, slow down, relax and savor the slice of paradise that is Rosemary Beach.

Meet the Team

Sierra McDaniel & Jordan Paramore

These two important members of the Rosemary Beach administrative team, Sierra McDaniel and Jordan Paramore, play an instrumental role in day-to-day operations, ensuring that everything behind the scenes at Rosemary Beach is running smoothly.

Learn more about Sierra and Jordan below:

Could you tell me about your role at Rosemary Beach?

Sierra - Currently, I serve as the RFID Access Administrator. My primary responsibility is managing the RFID Amenity cards that our residents and guests use to access the pools and beaches within our community. I’ve also been overseeing the RFID Bluetooth access system, which allows residents to use their smartphones to access their favorite amenities. Additionally, I work at the Rosemary Beach POA Front Desk alongside my co-worker, Jordan Paramore. Together, we handle incoming calls, manage the mail, scan important documents and assist anyone who comes into our office. We often joke that we are the “girls with all the knowledge”! If there’s something we are unsure about, we know exactly who to contact to get the most accurate information. We’re also in the process of creating a new digitized system for the POA’s files, which will greatly improve how we manage documents and streamline our operations.

Jordan - I’m part of the administrative team here at Rosemary Beach, and I have a couple different roles. I work the front desk at the office, greeting and assisting guests of the POA. I answer the phone, answer emails and along with Sierra, I also help manage the RFID system that allows people into the pools and beach accesses. Additionally, Sierra and I take on whatever projects are needed around the office, and we’re both currently in the process of organizing a cloud-based filing system for the entire office. I also serve as the Assistant to the Town Architect, which largely entails managing the paperwork needed for construction projects in the community and talking with homeowners and contractors to answer their questions regarding their projects.

How long have you worked on the Rosemary Beach team? How has the community changed over the years?

Sierra – I’ve been part of the Rosemary Beach team for about four years now. I spent the first two years in a Security role before transitioning to my current administrative position. In my time here, I’ve witnessed the community evolve positively. We’ve made significant updates to the POA office, the beautiful sculpture exhibit I love witnessing every year, and I’ve seen various departments come together to enhance our community experience.

Jordan - I’ve worked for the POA for a year and a half, though I did work in Rosemary Beach for the Cottage Rental Company prior to working here. I’ve really enjoyed not only finding my place in the community, but watching all of us—the POA team, the merchants and the property management

teams—find our rhythm together to help make Rosemary special. I think we’ve become a well-oiled machine over the last year and that we’re going to continue working to make the community even better.

What is your favorite part of working at Rosemary Beach? Do you have any stories/examples you can share?

Sierra - One of my favorite aspects of working at Rosemary Beach is the opportunity for professional growth. I started in security and have been encouraged to pursue advancement, which led me to my current position in an administrative role. The POA management has also supported my development by helping me obtain my Notary License, earn my Professional Administrative Certificate of Excellence (PACE) and complete my Passport to Leadership Program. I’m grateful for the support from management in pursuing further knowledge and skills. Their encouragement has truly helped me grow both professionally and personally.

Jordan - I really love what I do here, and I think I’m well suited for it, but my favorite part about the job is the community itself. I like the relationships I’ve built here, not only with my coworkers, but also the homeowners, guests and merchants. I have friends in the coffee shops, the clothing stores and friends on the security team. Sierra and I joke about me being a yapper, but I do like the conversations I have day-to-day with everyone I come across in Rosemary. Recently, I was asked what I thought made Rosemary Beach so special, and I think Rosemary wouldn’t be the same without the people living and working in it.

What do you like to do in your free time?

Sierra - Outside of work, I cherish my time with my husband and our three beautiful daughters. Whether it is watching a movie before bed, playing go-fish, listening to what new words and letters they learned at school or enjoying our time outdoors—particularly exploring wooded areas, riding four-wheelers, riding go-carts, camping, and hiking—I could never be bored with them by my side. They bring so much joy and adventure into my life.

Jordan - I like trying new and interesting things with my friends and traveling—I just got back from a trip with my sisters, where we stayed in a fairy-tale-inspired cabin in Chattanooga. I have planned this winter to visit a Korean-style spa. I like finding new things and places to experience. I also spend a lot of time reading and spending time with my dog—she likes an adventure just as much as I do!

Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club Introduces Groundbreaking 3D AI Golf Instruction Technology

by Maggie Jackson

The Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club is proud to announce the arrival of Sportsbox 3D Artificial Intelligence Golf Instruction Technology, a revolutionary tool that is transforming the way golfers of all levels improve their game. Located at the Club’s state-of-the-art Golf Performance Center, this new technology offers an unprecedented level of analysis and instruction that is sure to change the way golfers approach their practice and instruction.

Through its partnership with Sportsbox, Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club is one of the select few golf clubs worldwide to offer this new, cutting-edge technology. Under the guidance of PGA Director of Instruction Carter Murchison, the Club has integrated this system into its teaching arsenal, joining a prestigious group of instructors embracing AI’s power to help golfers improve faster.

What Is Sportsbox and How Does It Work?

Sportsbox uses artificial intelligence to create detailed 3D animations of a golfer’s swing from a simple video. With several unique viewing angles, including Face-On, Down-theLine, Behind, From the Target, Above and Below, the system provides an in-depth biomechanical breakdown of the swing.

The technology goes beyond simple video analysis by offering precise 3D measurements, allowing golfers to track their progress in inches and degrees. Coaches can set goal ranges for key metrics like swing path and clubface angle, which appear as color-coded indicators: green for ideal ranges, yellow for marginal and red for areas that need improvement.

“You can really see the impact this technology has on how golfers approach their training,” Murchison said. “I can film a swing in 2D and then plug it into the Sportsbox system to create a 3D model. From there, I can draw lines on the avatar to highlight swing flaws and provide actionable feedback. It’s like having a virtual swing coach that works in real-time.”

A High-Tech Approach to Instruction

While the system allows golfers to see many key points identified throughout their swing, Murchison emphasizes that he carefully curates which aspects of the analysis students receive. He believes in providing focused, digestible feedback to avoid overwhelming golfers.

“It’s important to make sure students can easily understand what they need to work on. The metrics are there, but I control what they see so we focus on key areas for improvement,” Murchison explained. “The idea is to give them feedback they can immediately use during their next round of golf.”

In addition to the 3D swing analysis, the Sportsbox system provides instructors the ability to track how golfers distribute their weight throughout the swing with the help of a pressure mat, which maps pressure points on the feet. This comprehensive approach to instruction combines swing mechanics, pressure data and real-time video feedback, all displayed across three large TV monitors.

What Can Guests and Members Expect?

Guests and members interested in using Sportsbox technology can schedule lessons by contacting the Golf Club via phone or email. Before starting, Murchison takes the time to profile each student, gathering information about their playing history, skill level and areas of focus. This allows him to tailor the lesson to the individual’s needs.

For those interested in a more hands-on experience, Murchison also offers the option of sending swings directly through the Sportsbox

app. Students can upload their swings from home and Murchison will analyze them through the app and provide feedback.

“Whether you come in for a full lesson or send in a swing for analysis, I take pride in being the ‘physician and MRI guy’ — I diagnose what’s happening in the swing and then help treat it,” Murchison said.

Exclusive Access to Groundbreaking Technology

While the Sportsbox system is still a rare offering at golf clubs across the country, Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club’s Golf Performance Center is one of the select facilities to offer it. The technology’s advanced features, combined with the Club’s commitment to high-level instruction, set it apart as a leader in golf education.

“Not many [golf] clubs in the country have this kind of technology and that’s one of the reasons Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club stands out,” Murchison said. “We’re always striving to be on the cutting edge, not just with technology, but with our approach to instruction. Being able to offer Sportsbox is a major asset for us.”

The Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club continues to grow and evolve, with new developments designed to enhance the overall experience for members and guests. In addition to the introduction of Sportsbox, the Club recently completed a redesign of its golf course, which has improved playability, drainage and aesthetics. The Club also added a new short-game practice facility, giving golfers more ways to hone their skills.

“There’s a real sense of community here, and we’re fortunate to have the support of our members and staff,” Murchison said. “In the last few years, we’ve seen tremendous growth and we’re excited to continue expanding our offerings.”

How to Experience Sportsbox

To experience the future of golf instruction at Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club, guests and members can schedule a lesson with Carter Murchison and use Sportsbox to help take their game to the next level. Lessons can be booked by calling the Golf Club at (772) 403-3444, or by visiting the Performance Center at Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club.

New Underpass Promotes Pedestrian Safety and Public Art

by Jenny Diamond

After nearly three years of construction, a new pedestrian underpass has opened where Highway 30A meets Highway 98 in Inlet Beach in Walton County. A 5.6 million dollar project of the Florida Department of Transportation, Scenic Walton, Walton County Board of County Commissioners and Walton County Tourism Department, the new 136-foot underpass will help to ensure that the high numbers of pedestrians, cyclists, skaters, dog walkers and other travelers in the area will have a safe way to cross the busy Hwy. 98. The underpass will also help to alleviate traffic concerns at the busy intersection. The underpass not only provides a safer option than crossing Hwy. 98, it also serves as the newest installation of the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County’s (CAA) Art in Public Spaces initiative and features murals from local artists and plans for further expansion .

While the underpass officially opened for public use in August, the CAA celebrated the art installation on October 29 with the Underpass Get Down family fun and ribbon-cutting event, which featured a parade through the underpass, crafts for kids, live music and food from local vendors.

The Art in Public Spaces initiative was established to foster collaboration, celebrate community and culture, encourage exploration, strengthen the economy and activate the unique environment of Walton County. Other installations that can be found throughout Walton County include the Underwater Museum of Art (UMA) sculpture garden, the Billboard Art Project and the Watersound Monarch Art Trail. In 2002, the CAA’s Art in Public Spaces program was also the recipient of a $10,000 grant from the National Endowment of the Arts (NEA) to help institute the murals once the underpass was completed, along with additional funding from the Florida Department of State Division of Arts & Culture and other donors. Requests for mural commissions were initially opened in April of 2022, which sought proposals that centered around the connections and relationships between humans, the natural environment and our built environment.

Each mural is roughly 20 feet by 8 feet and was designed by a local artist:

Olga Guy’s Coastal Currents: Lives in Motion showcases various connections: land and water, humans and animals and connections between individuals.

Sarah Page’s Culmination captures the beauty of a Walton County sunset over the water.

Andy Saczynski’s Day in the Life offers a take on a standard day in Walton County.

Heather Clements’ Local Love blends a portrait with images of native flora, including Southern Magnolia and Lupine.

Bradley Copeland’s Phoning Home reimagines Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam to show the connection between humanity and nature.

Francisco Adaro’s Summer Dream shows a perfect day spent at the beach.

Lindsay Tobias’ Tangled comments on the number of things we do with our hands and features two hands performing cat’s cradle with native birds perched on the strings.

Andrea Scurto’s untitled mural imagines local animals as artists and painters.

Katherine Boggs’ untitled mural embraces the whimsy of life in 30A, encouraging viewers to “grab life by the fins.”

“After years of planning and collaboration, we are excited to unveil these works of art in an underpass that will provide safe passage to so many Walton County residents and visitors. The murals wonderfully express the theme of connectivity among humans, nature, and our built environment, and the CAA is grateful to be a part of this important project that provides the connection for our community,” CAA President & CEO Jennifer Steele said.

Several future additions are planned for the underpass, including a public piano in a nod to Luke Jerram’s “Play Me, I’m Yours” international project, which has seen more than 2,000 pianos installed in public places across the globe. Additionally, the underpass will connect to the UMA, the CAA’s first Art in Public Spaces installation, with replicas of several of the underwater sculptures: Vince Tatum’s Common Chord , Kevin Reilly’s Let’s Not Blow This and Rachel Herring McCord’s The Grayt Pineapple . The underpass will continue to provide safe passage for pedestrians to access 30A’s many shops and restaurants, alleviate headaches for drivers and celebrate Walton County’s commitment to the arts for years to come.

30A Songwriters Festival

16 years of Hooks, Lines and Singers

By Jenny Diamond

Since its inception in 2010, the 30A Songwriters Festival has become a beloved staple in Walton County, featuring thousands of songwriters over the years, from small, local acts to international superstars.

Held each January over Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend, the Festival takes place in various venues all along Highway 30A, with the headliners’ stage set up at Grand Boulevard off Highway 98. Headlining shows are scheduled from early afternoon to early evening on Saturday and Sunday, with shows at smaller venues, including restaurants, bars, performance halls and amphitheaters all throughout the weekend. Many of these smaller venues are standingroom only and parking can be sparse, so attendees should arrive early when possible.

The Grand Boulevard space features an open field that invites attendees to bring their own chairs and blankets as the festival weekend almost always features low temperatures, sometimes even dipping below freezing. No outside food or drinks are allowed into the Grand Boulevard venue, but there are multiple vendors selling beer, wine, non-alcoholic options and a variety of food and snack options. Festival headliners include headline performances by renowned artists Melissa Etheridge, Amos Lee, The Jayhawks, The Devon Allman Project, Maggie Rose, and Secret Sisters.

Returning to perform two shows each throughout the weekend are songwriting legends Darrell Scott, Livingston Taylor, Will Kimbrough, Ellis Paul, Shawn Mullins, Vicki Peterson & John Cowsill, John Paul

White, Tommy Prine, Ruthie Foster, Hayes Carll, Holly Williams, John Fullbright, Black Opry Revue, Lilly Hiatt, Susan Werner, Chuck Cannon, Jeff Black, Dan Bern, Griffin House, Charlie Mars, Randall Bramblett, Jeffrey Steele, Steve Poltz, Kelly Willis, Bob Schneider, Mary Gauthier, Certainly So, David Ryan Harris, Chris Stills, Emerson Hart, John Driskell Hopkins, Adam Hood, Abe Partridge, Chastity Brown, Cousin Curtiss, Will Hoge, Ryanhood, with more to come.

The Festival is produced by Russell Carter Artist Management and the Cultural Arts Alliance (CAA) of Walton County. The Festival is the major yearly fundraiser for CAA, with 100 percent of net proceeds directly going to benefit the CAA. Through advocacy efforts, support for the creative sector and production of arts and educational programing, the CAA provides opportunities for residents and visitors to experience diverse forms of art and learning, connecting them to a broader view and critical exploration.

With roughly 175 artists performing at more than 25 venues each year, the 30A Songwriters Festival may indeed be a huge festival, but it doesn’t feel like it—attendees have the rare opportunity to see stellar artists in small, intimate settings and to hear their stories and their music in collaborative and often impromptu group performances. You might get to high-five Tanya Tucker, meet Brandi Carlile leaving a small beach bar, run into Steve Earle in a hotel lobby or snag a setlist from The War and Treaty (all actual things that have happened to me, a normal, run-of-the-mill but very lucky festival attendee!).

The 2025 30A Songwriters Festival will be held from January 16 through January 20; the primary dates are January 17 through 19, but there are some satellite opening and closing performances taking place on January 16 and 20. . Those interested in purchasing tickets should visit the Festival’s website at 30asongwritersfestival.com. There are options for three-day and single-day Festival passes as well as various VIP experiences.

As the Festival dates approach and the schedule is released, attendees can download the Festival’s app (30A Songwriters Festival – CAA) to help keep track of performance venues, times and any updates. Those who are interested in volunteering at the Festival have various options to do so, including set up, food and beverage service, door service, customer service and more. Volunteers who put forth 10 hours of service will receive a free Festival pass. To learn more about volunteer opportunities, visit the Volunteer tab on the Festival’s website.

2025 Headliners

Headliners for the 2025 festival were announced in October and include rock legend Melissa Ethridge, country-rock band The Jayhawks, folk-rock crooner Amos Lee, country and soul artist Maggie Rose, versatile artist Devon Allman and Americana harmonizing duo The Secret Sisters.

Rock legend Melissa Etheridge put out her first album in the late 1980s and has been a household name nearly ever since, with 16 albums and two books under her belt. Winner of multiple Grammys, GLAAD Media Awards and even an Academy Award for Best Original Song for 2007’s I Need to Wake Up from the film An Inconvenient Truth, Etheridge is known not only for decades-long music career, but also for her activism and support of LGBTQ rights and environmental causes.

Twin Cities country-rock band The Jayhawks put out their first record in 1986, and despite a few short hiatuses and alternating lineups, have put out an additional 10 albums, the most recent being 2020’s XOXO . Though the band was led primarily by long-time members Gary Louris and Mark Olsen, XOXO features vocal leadership and songwriting by all four current members, which include Louris, founding member Marc Perlman, Karen Grotberg and Tim O’Reagan.

Philadelphia folk-funk-soul artist Amos Lee put out his first album in 2005, a self-titled collection of subtle, folky soul numbers that featured Norah Jones and other members of her band. He has since released 10 other albums, including tributes to his musical heroes Chet Baker and Lucinda Williams. In the early years of his career, Lee opened for such legends as Boby Dylan and Bruce Springsteen and his most recent album, 2024’s Transmissions , was produced under his own record label, Hoagiemouth Records.

Devon Allman of the Devon Allman Project is a bit of rock and roll royalty, the son of Gregg Allman of The Allman Brothers Band. Devon Allman’s collaborations and solo projects throughout the years are seemingly endless, performing with groups such as The Dark Horses, Honeytribe, Royal Southern Brotherhood, The Allman Betts Band as well as touring heavily and producing solo albums. His most recent solo album, 2024’s Miami Moon , features contributions from Ivan Neville, George Porter, Jr., Adam Deitch and Karl Denson.

The Secret Sisters consists of real-life sisters Laura Rogers and Lydia Slagle, who grew up in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, honing their musical talents in church and bluegrass festivals. They produced their first album in 2010, before hitting a slump and potential bankruptcy after their second album. After opening a few shows for Brandi Carlile in 2015, Carlile and bandmates Phil and Tim Hanseroth produced the Secret Sisters’ third and fourth albums. The Secret Sisters’ latest album, 2024’s Mind, Man , Medicine was produced by Rogers and Slagle themselves, along with John Paul White and Ben Tanner and was recorded in their hometown. With hits ranging from sweet love songs to southern story-telling murder ballads to thoughtful considerations of aging and motherhood, the duo is best known for their incredible harmonizing, as well their banter on stage, with all the expected sibling love, eye-rolling and gentle teasing.

Nashville artist Maggie Rose primarily blends country and soul, though Billboard praises her “multi-genre talents.” Rose has graced the Grand Ole Opry stage more than 100 times, and her most recent album, 2024’s No One Gets Out Alive , was dubbed “more Laurel Canyon than Music Row” by Rolling Stone ; the titular track of the album begins simply with Rose’s voice, smoky yet understated, accompanied by a simple piano background and then, crescendos into a powerful display of her vocal talent and range.

Art on Display Rosemary Beach Sculpture Exhibition

by Nicole Willis

Photos by Brandan Babineaux Photography

With a mission to elevate the built environment through public art, the Rosemary Beach Sculpture Exhibit (RBSE) returns for its fourth biennial exhibition. The RBSE brings Rosemary Beach to life with captivating public art installations displayed throughout the community. This year’s exhibition brings nine sculptures to various outdoor locations including parks, green spaces and the Rosemary Beach Town Square.

Dozens of experienced and talented artists from across the U.S. applied to participate in this year’s exhibition, and the RBSE committee faced the difficult but rewarding challenge of selecting the sculptures to be included. With help from the Property Owners Association and Townscape Enhancement Committee, the RBSE selected pieces that would complement the unique architecture and natural beauty of Rosemary Beach.

“The RBSE Committee is excited to launch the 2024-25 exhibition. The sculptures selected for this exhibition represent a diverse array of

talented and accomplished artists. We think the selections enhance the architectural and natural environment of Rosemary Beach and add a sense of wonder and joy to the experience of the community. We hope homeowners and visitors find time to experience and enjoy the sculptures and walk away feeling as happy as we are about the exhibition,” Chairperson of the RBSE Committee Alisa Ghazvini said.

The selected sculptures will be displayed for one year, offering residents and visitors ample time to enjoy the installations. Additionally, six permanent collection sculptures will also be available for viewing throughout the community. Visitors are encouraged to view the exhibit in person and enjoy the opportunity to pause, reflect and find solace in the unique beauty that art in nature can create.

Here is a brief look at the nine sculptures selected for this year’s exhibition. For more information on the exhibit and an exhibition map, visit rosemarybeachsculpture.com.

Q&A with Artist Cecelia Moseley, Positivity in Negative Space

Cecelia Moseley is a mixed media artist from Meridian, Mississippi, and the creator of one of the pieces in the Rosemary Beach Sculpture Exhibition (RBSE,) entitled Positivity in Negative Space. From a young age, Moseley has been interested in art and creating. Describing her artistic style as “whimsical, playful and vibrant,” her pieces often feature bright colors and unique, abstract shapes.

Moseley’s creative spark drove her to earn her BFA from the University of Mississippi in 2020, and her MFA from Louisiana State University in 2024. Today, she is an active artist, exhibiting in public installations and permanent sculptures across the country including locations such as Meridian, Oxford and Cleveland, Mississippi, as well as Macon and Alpharetta, GA and Decatur, IN. Moseley continues to share her talent and passion for art through her position as the Galleries Manager at the Louisiana State University (LSU) School of Art as well as serving as an instructor for the University. Moseley can be found on Instagram at @cc_art_design and Facebook at @cmoseley.fine.art. To learn more about Moseley or view more of her work, visit cmoseleyfineart.com.

What was your inspiration for this specific piece?

Positivity in Negative Space embodies a language I crafted during childhood to navigate challenging educational environments. The piece symbolizes the interplay of positive and negative spaces in our lives, especially those related to neurological disabilities that often go unnoticed, allowing individuals to blend into society. Metaphorically, this sculpture celebrates this reality, with the negative spaces representing the often-overlooked aspects of cognitive disabilities. Like the balance between positive form

and negative space in sculpture, society requires a harmonious integration of individuals with cognitive disabilities to bring meaning to existence.

Can you take me through your creative process and describe what went into creating this piece?

For this piece, I drew inspiration from my childhood, recalling how I would write in the margins of my notebooks during class whenever I struggled to focus or comprehend the lesson. To keep my thoughts private, I expressed them through abstract cursive and intricate doodles that only I could decipher. Now, as an adult reflecting on those moments, I wanted to capture that personal, abstract language in metal. This piece brings those hidden thoughts to life, transforming the intimate markings of my younger self into a tangible form that preserves both their mystery and meaning.

You are very open about your experience with dyslexia. How does this experience impact or inform your work?

I began exploring and openly expressing my experience with dyslexia in my work at the end of 2019. Growing up, I was reluctant to talk about it—I didn’t want to stand out or seem different from others. But as I embraced my story, I realized how profoundly dyslexia has shaped my perception and approach to art. This perspective brings a unique rhythm and layer of meaning to my work, as I navigate themes of understanding, adaptation and communication. Sharing my experience through art has become a way to not only connect with others who may feel similarly but also to challenge the norms of learning and expression.

What mediums do you use most often in your work? Is there one that you gravitate towards more than others?

For the past six years, I’ve been captivated by working with metal. There’s a unique duality in the material—it’s inherently structured and strong, yet it also offers surprising fluidity. While large pieces of metal are often associated with rigidity and stability, I find great joy in bending and shaping it, creating organic curves and forms that challenge conventional expectations. This process of manipulation, allows me to reveal the dynamic possibilities within the material, transforming metal’s typical hardness into something unexpectedly graceful and flowing. I also use a diverse range of materials, including acrylic, paper, ceramics, styrofoam, light and vinyl.

Is there anything else you’d for readers to know?

Creating installation work and public art holds deep significance for me, as it transforms spaces and invites people into an experience rather than simply observing a piece in a gallery. My installations are immersive and designed to evoke personal interaction and reflection, allowing viewers to connect more intimately. Public art, in particular, engages directly with the community by being accessible and open, sparking conversations around learning challenges and offering visibility to diverse narratives often overlooked in traditional art spaces. I’m passionate about how public art revitalizes spaces, creating a sense of shared beauty that invites people from all walks of life to pause, reflect and celebrate creativity. Rotating exhibitions are essential as they introduce fresh perspectives and talents to the community, bringing a dynamic mix of artistic voices that showcase unique skills and visions from artists around the world, transforming the public space into a vibrant, communal canvas.

“My new contemporary works, which were started five years ago, are built upon the concepts of traditional works. Specifically, the modern works depict or suggest things that we see and are familiar with, but cannot necessarily touch or quantify. My lyrical, caressing rings form beautiful contemporary sculptures that suggest the pathways of life, the forces of nature or emotions of our humanity. I chose the circle as a thematic symbol because of its cleanliness of shape, presence in our every day life, and the fact that it has no corners- just one beautiful line with no beginning, middle or end. An incredible spiritual shape that invites interpretation. I use the entire circle, whole and complete, contrast it with segments of the circle, and yet other times will use other geometric shapes to make circles...quite a mix of contradictions.”

An Oar for Odysseus

Raine Bedsole NEW ORLEANS, LA

Solid Cast Bronze

87” x 6” x 3” | $24,000

“My childhood was spent in Coastal Alabama on a farm. The river would routinely overflow its banks and surge across the fields. My brother kept a canoe on our porch so that he could go see his friends when the neighborhood flooded. It was all very exciting as a child and I have treasured memories getting around by boats. The familiar ebb and flow of water marks the cycles of my life. When I have dreams of flying, I am always in a boat. On a different level, the mythology of the boat resonates within me. The boat is frequently the vessel for transporting the soul. Egyptian barques ferrying the dead to their afterlife, funery longboats carrying Norse warriors out to sea for the last time, and soul ships of the Irian Jaya are just a few of the iconic vessels that inspire me.

Embrace

Jim Weitzel FOREST CITY, NC

Bonding Cement

72” x 48” x 24” | $9,500

“I want my work to be more than just object, to have a deeper meaning that connects us to a spiritual life and to our fellow man. My work includes many techniques, welding which is akin to meditation, wood working, metal casting, mold making and many more. My process involves idea first and then finding the best techniques to execute that idea. I create art in many diverse fields, this comes from my interest in working with all types of materials and processes along with my conceptualization of what art is. That being not creating the same thing over and over, but about the exploration of new concepts along with the mastery of technique. I now have a library of skills that I use in the creation of my work.”

Vasanzio Troy

Steven Buduo ST. LOUIS, LA Steel

72” x 96” x 48” | $14,500

“My work is deeply rooted in themes of space, scale, and gravity. Using steel and concrete as primary mediums, I draw inspiration from architecture to create sculptures that evoke imagery of monumental structures. My practice revolves around the significance of space, evident in forms that intertwine, meld together, or fracture abruptly.”

Jubilation

Positivity in Negative Space

Cecelia Moseley BATON ROUGE, LA

Stainless Steel, Cast Acrylic

96” x 60” x 65” | $6,000

“Positivity in Negative Space embodies a language I crafted during childhood to navigate challenging educational environments. The piece symbolizes the interplay of positive and negative spaces in our lives, especially those related to neurological disabilities that often go unnoticed, allowing individuals to blend into society. Metaphorically, this sculpture celebrates this reality, with the negative spaces representing the often-overlooked aspects of cognitive disabilities. Like the balance between positive form and negative space in sculpture, society requires a harmonious integration of individuals with cognitive disabilities to bring meaning to existence. Just as art and religion fulfill the human need for meaning, individuals with cognitive disabilities contribute to society’s collective understanding and enrichment, highlighting the importance of acknowledging and embracing the negative spaces in our lives.”

Paul Saviskas INVERNESS, FL

Stainless Steel, Concrete and Mosaics

77” x 36” x 36” | $45,000

“Joyful encounter of friends. Jubilation was created to express happiness, festivity, friendship and community. The lyrical figures were overjoyed and celebrated the good news with song and dance. The base of the sculpture depicts a mosaic pattern creating the illusion of flowing rhythm and movement in the music, intertwined with the joyful figures above the base telling their story.

The sculpture was fabricated using a process of hand hammering and welding together sheets of stainless steel. It incorporates the art of hand shaping the metal to form the figures giving them texture, and forms that are gracefully rounded, twisted and rhythmical.”

Idyll

Luke Achterberg

LA CROSSE, WI

Stainless Steel

96” x 24” x 24” | $20,000

“Luke’s work explores the contemporary subcultures of Americana found in automotive customizing, style writing, calligraphy, graffiti, comic books, snow/ skateboarding and street art. The exciting energy, playful whimsy, and bold colorful fluidity that he has practiced in these subcultures are manifested in each sculpture. All of these subcultures display extremely high technical skills developed outside of academia, and is conscious of the blue collar ideals as he melds them with his white collar academic fine art training. While working, he is continually playing with balance, both physical and aesthetic, to create a pronounced visual sleekness, what he calls “Super Sleek”.”

Maman

Adam Walls TRYON,

Stainless Steel

96” x 24” x 36” | $12,000

Dingbat

Earl Dismuke OXFORD, MS

Welded Steel

138” x 96” x 48” | $30,000

“Dingbat is the second piece in a series of works based on the fantasy of my childhood imagination. Dingbat is an ode to storytelling and the outlandish stories I heard as a child. The word dingbat itself is defined as a noun meaning a stupid or an eccentric person. However, I always viewed it as a term of endearment. As a child, when I was trying to be funny or entertaining, telling my own outlandish stories, my mother would call me “dingbat.” In the South storytelling is still a part of the culture.”

“My sculpture is concept driven and is often highly viewer interactive. The conceptual component of my work is often derived from some memory that was stirred by the shape of a memento that I have held on to since childhood. These things bring up thoughts and experiences that challenge me and guide me through the creative process. There are elements in much of my larger works that are derived from my love of fantasy, escapism, and pop-culture imagery. My sculpture ranges in size from minuscule to monumental. Some of my sculptures only require the viewer to see themselves reflected atop a difficult and imposing staircase which could represent the challenges we face in order to achieve our goals. In whatever way my viewer chooses to engage my work, I find that it is not always necessary to me that the viewer understands my concept, but it is important to me that I provide an experience that might encourage the viewer to see and engage art more often.”spawned by the rise of civilization.

News the way kids like to tell it... all good, mostly true and, of course, totally earth shattering.

by CHRISTIA PALIZZI

Stella (almost 3) is starting preschool soon! She got to ride her bike to school to check it out. She’s also having a birthday soon and will be having a dinosaur party. ThreeRex because her favorite dinosaur is a T-Rex.

Clara (7) started playing lacrosse with 30A Lacrosse. At her first-ever game she not only scored her firstever goal, her team won by a landslide! She said she loves lacrosse so much and she can’t wait to play again in spring. Their team was undefeated in the fall season with a 4-0 record. Way to go 30A Lacrosse!

Emerald Coast Theatre Company’s middle school troupe #89447 went to districts in Tallahassee. They had to wake up super early to leave and they performed various scenes, a one-act, songs and monologues. At districts, they earned a total of 5 EXCELLENT and 14 SUPERIOR ratings. Two actors

were given Critics Choice Recognition. Their one act was selected to represent District 10 at the state competition in February. The troupe will be traveling to Orlando to perform and compete!

Margo (11) has wanted a cat since she could talk. Her wish finally came true and she is beyond thrilled. Her family rescued a tuxedo cat from Alaqua. Willow spent her first four years of life living on the streets of Alys Beach before she was moved to Alaqua Animal Refuge. Willow— AKA Willie or AKA Willimeana—is now spending the rest of her days sitting on Margo’s lap purring. It’s been a dream come true for Margo.

Teddy has started an earring business. He started making clay earrings and has big plans of selling his jewelry at local boutiques. He is also excited to play Donkey in his theater’s Shrek the Musical!

The Seaside Neighborhood Girls’ JV basketball team is breaking school records! With a team made up of mostly 5th and 6th graders and two 7th graders, they have managed to win three games so far this season! They have shown immense growth since the season started and it’s been such a fun team to watch.

London just turned 4 and evacuated from Jacksonville to Inlet Beach and her Gigi’s house. While here, they were able to attend the Pirate Festival. She saw a REAL mermaid who swam down and picked out an oyster with a pearl in it! She also went to Gulf World and loved the dolphin show. Annaleigh and some of her classmates from the Ohana Institute competed in the Regional Debate Competition at the University of West Florida in Pensacola, where 25 schools from across the southeast sent students to compete. From regionals, they will advance to state and there is a chance to win a share of over $30,0000 in

scholarships. Annalegh placed fourth overall, while her classmate placed a solid fifth overall, and another classmate received a Leadership Award! We cannot wait to hear how you all advance in state!

Grady was able to take a landscape painting class with his mom and local artist, Alison Wickey. There they painted the iconic Western Lake view, and Alison said he had a great eye for art! The painting was truly stunning and such a realistic rendition of the iconic scene.

Livy got to go to Disneyworld for the first time! She got to ride the carousel and have breakfast with the princesses in the castle! Wearing her own Cinderella dress was the highlight of the trip for her, and honestly, it might be the only dress she wears from now on!

And now onto the lost teeth…

Lively lost her two front teeth! One hung on for weeks and then the other one got knocked out wrestling the next day. The tooth fairy visited and she was so excited.

Owen lost one of his last remaining baby teeth while eating a Kit Kat the day after Halloween. The dentist had warned the week before that his remaining teeth were all really close to falling out and that braces were coming soon!

Skylar lost her first tooth at school. She went to the office where they gave her a bag to put it in. It somehow got lost and fell out of the bag before making it home. She wrote a note to the tooth fairy to ask if she could find the missing tooth at school but leave her prize under her pillow. The tooth fairy did just that!

Mary Helen gets $2 bills for a lost tooth at home but at the beach, the tooth fairy brings her a $5 bill and a seashell. She got to visit Gigi’s after the tooth fairy visited her.
