Helping Local Businesses Tell Their Story
with passion, creativity, endless ideas & personal attention.
Dear Readers Our Annual Art issue is always a favorite of mine. I am in awe of art and the artists we have chosen for this issue, Melissa Kurtz, Megan Welch and Sinisa Saratlic, amazing and interesting fine artists who live and work in our local community. Our interviews explore their process and how it is informed, and allow us the simple chance to view the beautiful, interesting and unique work. We have a fun art project for the kids provided by Creative Me Art Studio, our featured business for October. Be sure to read their business profile interview. Another feature this month is our makeover series, by the Sparkle in Style team. It has been truly awesome to see the transformation of our first local Mom, DeArcy, using the arts of style, makeup, hair and photography. Also, please enjoy our expanded Fall Fun Calendar with a plethora of fall festivals, Oktoberfests, art shows and more; just a reminder of why we are lucky to live in St. Johns. Thank you to our advertisers and contributors who support this local publication. Have a wonderful Fall y’all! Debbie Gaylord Publisher, St. Johns Magazine October 2017
