HONEY COSTA
My spirited watercolors and collages are a reflection of my personal interests in life . The ambiance and beauty of color found in birds, sea life, tropical vistas and people of the Caribbean and Florida are daily inspirations. My years of travel and living aboard a sailboat have enhanced my awareness of nature and inspired my clear, bright colors. It is my joy to capture these colors of our tropical paradise and create pleasure for the viewer. Honey Costa began creating her watercolors in the hills of Pennsylvania while attending classes at the Baum School of Art over twenty years ago. Her subject matter of old barns and maple trees soon turned to the vibrant palette of the Caribbean. Living aboard a 37 foot sailboat with her husband and sailing the picturesque islands of the West Indies and South America opened a whole new world of color and subject matter. Five years of sailing the windward islands, she then came ashore in Cape Coral, Florida. Living on the water has enabled her to capture the multifaceted beauty of the island people and their lifestyle and vistas. She continues to capture these subjects here in the paradise of SW Florida and has sailed to Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Cuba, the Bahamas;including a transatlantic sail on a four masted clipper ship (Italy to St. Martin). Painting visits to the picturesque island of Grenada, Brazil, Argentina,Spain,,Portugal,Barbados and Costa Rica have also resulted in vibrant watercolors. Honey is an award winning artist both locally and nationally. She is an active member of the Cape Coral Art League,Art League of Bonita, Lee Co. Alliance of the Arts, the Florida Watercolor Society, Arts for Act Gallery and the National League of American Pen Women. Her art can always be viewed at home by private appointment and current works are featured at the Seaweed Galleries on Sanibel and Captiva, Crossed Palms Gallery in Bokeelia, PineIsland, Arts for Act, Ft. Myers. |
