This the story about the Creative Native Gallery on Falkenberg with gallery owner Pam Moody and my sister Sherrie and other artists in the gallery.


Tampa Tribune/Brandon Story!!! By LAURA FRAZIER


Made in Florida....Several of the artists work with such whimsy, including Rhonda Kitchens, known in the arts world as RhondaK.

A Plant City native who lives in Siesta Key, Kitchens uses wood, rope and acrylic paint to create decorative signs reminiscent of Key West beach bars. The Florida folk-style signs are ablaze with tropical colors and tongue-in-cheek sayings such as "Only dead fish go with the current," "Gone crazy, be back soon," and "When life hands you lemons, grab the tequila and salt."

Brief commercial. Note some dreadheaded mermaids and the like in the backgrounds. Really a nice and POWERFUL photo essay of our collective work.

The turtle she's working on is ALREADY SOLD.
