Welcome from LeMoyne Board President..................................2
Spring is the season of germination for new artistic styles for artists and art enthusiasts alike. LeMoyne Center for the Visual Arts is germinating our own artistic display of new art to present during the 11th Annual LeMoyne Chain of Parks Festival. This juried art event invigorates our artistic juices and pollinates styles with different artists from across the country.

We are able to pull off this festival only by the indefatigable efforts of specially committed volunteers who dedicated their considerable talents to create one of the best parties in Tallahassee. It is no surprise that this letter replicates our honoree’s from years past. Charles Tunnicliff and Kelly Dozier are our Festival Committee Co-Chairs. Charles is the master of logistics and Kelly worked tirelessly on developing the business and individual relationships that financially support this festival; Janelle Pepe and Macy Miller, PR and Marketing Chairs got the word out; and Sheri Sanderson, LeMoyne’s Event Manager, who coordinated all of the moving parts on behalf of Lemoyne, have all done an outstanding job. Much gratitude goes to Kidd Group and Mary Liz Moody who provided many hours of professional services in developing new branding and all graphic design elements for the festival. It is only possible to successfully execute an event of this magnitude with the help of more than a hundred volunteers.

2011 Featured Artist Robin Rodgers Ceramic artist/potter Robin Rodgers was raised in Chattahoochee, Florida, near the banks of the Apalachicola River. As a boy, he was intrigued by old bottles, arrowheads and Indian pottery that he found near his home. His interests in art, archaeology and nature inspired him to complete his Bachelors Degree in Art from the University of Montevallo in 1984 and Masters of Fine Arts in Ceramics from Florida State University in 1989. In 1995, Robin established his Rabbit Pond studio. He teaches classes, workshops and hosts a pottery camp for kids each summer. Robin enjoys researching ancient techniques and processes of pottery making, translating these findings into his current contemporary creations. His personal touch is revealed through an array of surface textures on wheel-thrown forms, including etchings, geometric carvings and sculpted appendages, most

often depicting animals, birds and natural forms. Robin’s work is represented in private, corporate and museum collections in the United States and abroad, including the Mobile Museum of Art, Huntsville Museum of Art, State of Florida, The Nature Conservancy, Historic Bok Sanctuary, Archaeological Institute of West Florida, Apalachee Indian tribe and in art galleries across the country. In addition, Robin creates replicas of 17th century Spanish & Native American pottery for the San Luis Archaeological site in Tallahassee, Florida and has an installation of over 200 tiles depicting the flora and fauna of Florida at the historic Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, Florida. His work is featured in the March/ April 2006 issue of Florida Wildlife magazine and in Lark Book’s 500 Animals in Clay. Process: Robin uses many firing processes, most notably the 16th century Japanese technique of Raku firing. In this process, pieces are removed individually from the hot kiln with tongs and smoked to darken the random crackled patterns. As it cools, each piece develops its own unique pattern of glaze that contributes the overall impact. Raku is porous and is intended for enjoyment as art and its beautiful decorative quality.

The History of LeMoyne Center for the Visual Arts LeMoyne Center for the Visual Arts is named after the French artist Jacques le Moyne de Morgues who accompanied the second French expedition to Florida under Rene de Landonniere in the year 1565, becoming the first western artist to paint Florida subjects. Four hundred years later, when the first art association in Florida’s capital city was formed, it seemed appropriate to name it in honor of the first artist upon its shores. Currently housing main galleries in the historic Meginniss-Munroe house (c. 1854) LeMoyne is the first non-profit, community based visual arts center in the Big Bend area of North Florida. LeMoyne Center for the Visual Arts was founded in 1963 by community leaders as a venue for fine art exhibitions and art education activities dedicated to Creating Community Through Art. LeMoyne serves the community by offering quality art exhibitions of local and regional appeal, offering diverse art education and outreach programs, and art events for people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds. Please visit our gallery inside this historic home, located at 125 N. Gadsden St., just past the non-profit booths at the Festival. Entry is free to all during our Chain of Parks Art Festival.

Thanks to our Kids Zone sponsors, Target and Klown Kapers, children are able to take part in a number of makeand-take art projects under the Kids Zone tent, located along Gadsden Street across from the LeMoyne gallery.
BJ’s Amazing Face-Painting takes this art form to a whole new level with high quality non-metallic neon colors, brilliant primary colors, and subdued pastel colors like no others available in today’s market. The application and blending techniques of the artists create face-painting masterpieces that you will want to capture in pictures and enjoy for years.
Some of the art activities will include; screen printing on recycled paper and covering the streets in sidewalk chalk! Materials for the projects have been provided by Target and the children can take what they make home with them. BJ the Clown and the rest of the Klown Kapers gang will also be offering fun and entertainment for the children. “We are providing face painting, balloon art, temporary air brush tattoos, quick sketch, and glitter tattoos!”, said BJ enthusiastically.

The emerging artists program at the LeMoyne Chain of Parks Art Festival was started in 2010 with the goal of encouraging participation in the world of outdoor festivals by providing the opportunity to experience the application process and participation in LCoPAF at a reduced cost to the emerging artists. This program is limited to 10 participants who are selected by the Festival Committee. The program is designed specifically for outstanding artists who have never exhibited or sold their work at an outdoor festival. Artists who are just beginning their careers in the art world are encouraged to apply. The artists chosen have an opportunity to sell their work, meet other artists and participate in a nationally recognized festival.

Randy Brienen
most of his life. In 2007 Randy started painting seriously and immediately found collector interest in his impressionistic and abstract styles. His use of vibrant colors and bold textures are a creative interpretation of his subjects and surroundings.
Her work typically expresses the joy and happiness she finds in living. Her work favors idyllic moments, real or remembered, home landscape portraits such as your personal residence, childhood home, or beach house, historical renditions, nature landscapes, and cottage florals.
Randy has been selected to exhibit in Springtime Tallahassee, LeMoyne Chain of Parks Art Festival, the Winery, and is currently exhibiting in the Lily Pads art gallery located in Grayton Beach FL. and 1020Art. He serves on the LeMoyne Center for the Visual Arts board of directors. He is a past Vice President of the Tallahassee Area Watercolor Society. He has been chosen to exhibit with his wife Debby at Tallahassee City Hall and LeMoyne for the 2010 season and has been chosen to exhibit at the Gadsden Arts Center during the 2012 season.
She has exhibited in many juried shows, and was chosen to be the featured artist for Lemoyne’s 2008 Chain of Parks art festival in Tallahassee. She currently exhibits in many local venues. Debra, a cancer survivor, donates a portion of each sale to the prevention and treatment of cancer.
Randy’s work expresses a variety of styles and techniques appealing to clients interested in contemporary and traditional art. He paints inspirationally and by commission.
