FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Meet the Artist…Reception, Wine Tasting, Hors d’oeuvres
Whole Foods Market, Wellington, in their endeavor to present the finest local artists in Palm Beach County, is pleased to showcase one of the foremost international watercolor artists, Estelle Lavin, formerly of New York City, now residing in Boynton Beach, Florida.
“Come meet the artist at a reception in the café where you will enjoy live music, fine wines, and hors d’oeuvres prepared by Chef Chris Paul from Wild Orchids Café using all natural ingredients from Whole Foods Market. You’ll have an opportunity to chat with Lavin about her inspirations and how she produces the exquisite details of her remarkably realistic paintings,” said Lauren Belinsky, Marketing and Community Relations Specialist.
When: This event takes place on Friday, October 23 between 6 and 8 PM at Whole Foods Market’s café located just south of the mall at Wellington Green on 441/S.R.7. $10 Donation will be taken at the entrance to the reception. Pre-registration is requested by calling 561-904-4000.
Lavin, (www.estellelavin.com), a signature member of the prestigious American Watercolor Society as well as the Boca Raton Museum of Art’s Artist Guild, presently exhibits at their new gallery on Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach. Having worked in many mediums, she chose watercolor for its ability to depict the depth of color necessary to produce her realistic interpretation of ever renewing nature versus man’s impermanent structures. She believes that we pay too much attention to the troublesome aspects of life and too little to the beauty, permanency and serenity nature offers us.
Lavin’s paintings are in major collections around the country and England, including McGraw Hill in New York and London, FGH Investments, New York, Silverstein & Mullens in Washington, DC and many other corporate and private collections. Her art work has been featured in four “Splash” books, (The Best in Watercolor) as well as numerous American and European publications, most recently in a feature article in Watercolor Artist Magazine, June 2008. She has exhibited in major galleries in New York such as Gallery Henoch, Bruce R. Lewin Gallery and Lizan-Tops in East Hampton, New York.
Lavin will be donating 10% of sales to her favorite charity, JAFCO as well as the proceeds from auctioning off one of her paintings and all silent auction items. JAFCO serves abused and neglected children in South Florida by providing for family preservation, foster care, adoption, mentoring, shelter and group homes programs.
