Looking for a new dining experience on the east side of town? Steve Carpenter recently opened Phat Crab in Carillon Beach town center and requested the oil and cold wax art of Lori Drew to complete the laid-back atmosphere of his newest restaurant. “What better way to offer a special treat to the community than to mix local art and fine dining,” said Drew. Twenty-three new works adorn the walls and all are for sale. “I am honored to be a part of this new venture, adding a delightful spark of enthusiasm to a great little town center.”Phat Crab is open from 5-10 p.m. every day except Wednesdays.
Library Artist of the Month Invites All to ‘Take A Walk In The Park’
Yosemite National Park
Mixed media artist Lori Drew invites you to take “A Walk In The Park” as her solo show opens at the Coastal Branch library Friday, March 1, featuring all new impressions of the natural beauty of our National Parks.
Drew, 2017 South Walton Mixed Media Artist of the Year, said she wanted a new challenge for this exhibit. “We’ve been hiking national parks each summer for 10 years, and I have beautiful photographs to use for inspiration. It felt like a good time to challenge myself with new palettes and a more diverse view of nature’s beauty,” she explained.
The oil and cold wax artist is known for her peaceful representations of the Emerald Coast and its shorebirds. She steps out into a whole new creative world with this new collection, never before exhibited. Viewers will enjoy her impressions of Yellowstone, The Grand Tetons, Acadia, the Rockies, Olympic, the Everglades and more. She promised to include several works from our local state parks.
Drew further explained, “Like my paintings of our amazing beaches and coastal dune lakes, these works are not representational, but rather my impressions of the landscapes — both up close and from a distance.” Mountains, waterfalls, wildlife, geothermal formations, swamps and rain forests, sand dunes and paths in the wilderness create a sense of peace for the artist, and her intent is to share that serenity with everyone.
More information about Lori Drew can be found on her website,www.loridrew.net. Her studio/gallery is located in Point Washington, and other works are available at East End Gallery in Inlet Beach and at The Front House Gallery at Emerald Coast Theatre Company.

East End Gallery Welcomes ArtWalkers
All are invited to the Inaugural ArtWalk at East End Gallery this Friday, 4-7 p.m. Come browse the new art space while enjoying lite bites and wine. We are located behind Shades Bar and Grill on the east end of 30a.
Local Artist Opens Unique New Gallery on Hwy 30A
INLET BEACH, FLORIDA – Award-winning artist, Lori Drew, has teamed up with Warren Beason and Natalie Gibbs to open East End Gallery.
East End Gallery is a full-service gallery with over 125 linear feet of display space located behind Shades Bar & Grill at the east intersection of Highway 30A and 98. The gallery’s opening exhibition, “Artist Favorites,” features more than fifty carefully selected works from well known local and regional artists.
The location represents a collaboration between art and business that is thought to be a first of its kind in the area. The gallery coexists in the same space as Blue Title, one of South Walton County’s leading title companies. Drew, 2017 South Walton Mixed Media Artist of the Year, noted the unique arrangement is a huge positive for the art community, “Our partnership with Blue Title provides the gallery and its art with a high-end, high-traffic location and exposure to people who love and invest in our community.”
Beason added that it was important for them to take their time and do it right, “We weren’t interested in just throwing some art on the wall and telling people it was for sale. Instead, we took our time to renovate the space with the proper lighting and hanging system, learn about the artists and their needs and invest heavily in technology to manage and promote the gallery well.”
East End Gallery is now open and will operate Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturdays by appointment. The gallery is active on both Facebook and Instagram. Their website (www.eastend30a.com) will launch soon providing an outlet to learn more about the art, additional information about the artists and the ability to purchase directly online.
