The Professional Artists of St. Augustine (P.A.St.A.) Art Gallery will be featuring the work of Siv Spurgeon.  Siv is a representational watercolor artist.  Her paintings often feature tightly cropped views of objects found in every day life.  She loves to capture the feeling of light and strives for a strong composition of her subject matter.  Her training as an engineer may explain her love of drawing and her fascination with complex and highly detailed subjects.

Siv grew up in Stockholm, Sweden, and moved to the United States in 1967.  She exhibits widely and is a frequent award winner.  She was very active in the eastern Pennsylvania art community prior to relocating to the St. Augustine area late last year.  She is an elected member of the Howard Pyle Studio Group and holds signature memberships in the American, National, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia and Baltimore Watercolor Societies.  Her work is on exhibit in the 2017 Florida Watercolor Society exhibition in Coral Springs, Florida.

The show's opening will coincide with the First Friday Art Walk on October 6, 2017.  P.A.St.A. Art Gallery is located at 214 Charlotte Street, St. Augustine, FL  904-824-0251  Always free.
