Gallery 782 Co-Art

I'm a founding member of Gallery 782 Co-Art, a wonderful co-op gallery in Biloxi, MS. It is located on Water and George E. Ohr Street, on the street right behind Mary Mahoney's Restaurant.

Below is a collage of some of my photography that is on exhibit durng this quarter.

Below is one of my Original Photograph Pendants-
II have created wearable art pendants using selected
photographs of mine that would be
appropriate for small images under glass.
The pendants are available in various images.

The Gallery is open Monday - Friday

Spring Has Sprung

It is nesting time for the great birds. This one is a Great White Egret. She's guarding her twig nest with eggs. She was photographed a Beaux Bridge in Louisiana, a noted bird rookery, but we have many of them here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We also have beautiful pelicans, graceful sea gulls, and skillful skimmers.
At the moment, we have a flock of migrating American Yellow Finches in our back yard. This year, we have had more than we have ever had before. At times, there are 4-6 on each of our three feeders. We constantly have to refill the feeders, but it's worth it to watch them feeding.
I love photographing birds. The main problem is getting them in a position where the background is nice enough for a photograph.
With all of the flowers bursting forth in bloom, springtime is a most wonderful time of the year!

Here I am with my husband, Vern, at the grand opening of Gallery 782 Co-Art. It is a professional artist's co-op with presently 30 artists, with more to be joining. I'm in front of one of my paintings that won several awards in art exhibits, "Gitchee Gumee Boat House".

The gallery is on Water Street in Biloxi, and is located just north of Mary Mahoney's. In fact, you can see it while dining in their garden room.

The gallery is housed in an old two-story building that has lovely nooks and crannies and many rooms that display a variety of art. If you are near the Vieu Marché, please come by to visit. One of the artists will be there each day. You may even see me there, as we are presently working one day per month in the gallery.

Below are a few of my photographs on display at Gallery 782.

Visit my Etsy Shop: Ladyphoto's Southern Creations Fine Art Photography

I have opened an Etsy Shop that will allow you to browse through my photography images and order those that you like. Duplicate photos are mean that there two different sizes to select from. In addition, all of my images may be ordered in different sizes to fit your wall space and your budgets. Other images are uploaded quite frequently.

This shop features work that is different from my Southern Creations Photography web site, so if you would like to see things out of the ordinary for me, check my out Etsy shop.

Please drop by and visit.

The Caboose Art Gallery - Long Beach

My work is just to the right of the hutch, and the black background pink flower just above it. In the photograph on top, the pink magnolia center on the top left is my photograph, also. I've been a member since just before the gallery opened in April of 2008.

This is one of my most favorite things...

I will definitely have a framed photo of my little frog at my exhibit.

This is my wild pet frog. It lives in the little upright pond on our back patio. Where he came from I don't know - I guess from the little marsh creek down the hill in the woods. I had others come to live in my little pond, but Katrina was responsible for about six of them dying, and another had an unfortunate accident after one came back a year or so after Katrina. I had given up on ever having one again, but truthfull, I prayed for one to come back, and my prayers were answered. The froggie is every bit as loved as anyone's dog or cat, and he is so cute! In warm weather he either sits on the edge of the pond, or on one of the flagstones, like in the picture. Sometimes he sits half submerged on a lily pad. He sits still when I scoop dead leaves from the water, and when I lean close in to talk to him. I do believe that frogs have a brain and can remember. He knows he will come to no harm from me.

"These Are a Few of My Favorite Things"

During the month of October, I am mounting a one-woman show at the Mocha Moose Coffee House in Ocean Springs. Mocha Moose features a different artist each month, and is to be commended for its support of the arts.

The theme of the show will feature photographs of some of my all-time favorite places and things. There will be landscapes and floral images; some old and some new, but all favorites of mine.The public is invited to a reception from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 4.
