about the ARTIST
Colorado Artist, Researcher, Bird Rehabilitator, Author, and Director of the nonprofit the Colorado Avian Research and Rehabilitation Institute (CARRI), Scott Rashid will have a solo exhibit at the Gallery of Art 850 in March. Scott has been painting, illustrating and writing about birds since 1989. He has been passionate about birds ever since he was a young boy living in Wisconsin. When in college he created is unique, one-of-a-kind, painting style that combines Cubism and Realism. Like Pablo Picasso and the other cubistic painters, Scott wanted to show multiple views of his subjects in each painting. Like the realists, he wanted his subjects to be identifiable and realistic. He combines these two styles to depict birds in a way that is unique in the art world. Painting in transparent watercolor, he portrays a single species three times in every painting.
Owl expert, bird rehabilitator, watercolorist & author Scott Rashid, gave a presentation at FSU-PC Holley Center 4750 Collegiate Drive, Panama City.
Event was by Bay County Audubon Society.

January 22 through March 24, 2026
Jeri Carter began painting as a child and took it quite seriously throughout her life. Her father realizing her talent made sure Santa left an easel under the tree at the age of eight years. The collectors and admirers of her work are thrilled to be able to see never before seen pieces on show now at the GoA. While you gaze at the work of Jeri Carter, you will feel the humidity in the air, the smell of moss, the freshness of early winter when the japonica are in bloom. Jeri Carter is an artist of the south. From the salty north Florida coastline to the hills and tall pines in Alabama, she captures the light. Jeri Carter is a treasure.
Jeri Carter's work will be on exhibit and for sale at the Gallery of Art 850 in Panama City, Florida January 22 until March 24, 2026
