Tuesday January 5, 2021 Fitz will be in the gallery from 11-5pm painting and discussing his vibrant marine life paintings.
Mike has spent his life on the water, most of it with a fishing rod in hand. He grew up in South Florida where he could be found fishing from the beaches or piers, in canals and Intracoastal, off shore or in the Bahamas. When he became a ‘Florida Gator’ he added inland lakes, rivers, creeks and roommates’ aquariums to his list of favorite fishing spots!
After graduating from UF, he became a USCG Licensed Boat Captain, and spent the next 30 plus years running and maintaining private pleasure and tournament sport fishing boats from Cape Cod to San Salvador and all over the Gulf of Mexico. He painted marine life off and on over the years for family and friends or to donate as awards for fishing tournaments, and in 2017 he let his hidden artistic talent out of the fish box for everyone to enjoy! He is now fulfilling his life long desire to paint professionally, and has created dozens of “Fitz Originals”, some complimented by his own unique handcrafted wooden frames. In vibrant colors, his self taught and evolving style depicts the beauty and energy of sea life. Mike’s enthusiasm is infectious, and his paintings reflect his great love for both painting and the underwater life in the sea.
Mike’s paintings are well known around town and as a member of Butterfield Garage, his work is regularly on display, so stop in to check it out!

Cindy Wilson’s indigo batiks are featured in February at Butterfield Garage Gallery
Friday February 7, 2020, at 6:00pm Cindy will present an artist talk explaining her process, and experiences of working with indigo.
The show, titled Midnight in the Garden of Indigo results from Cindy’s focus in 2019 learning to use indigo dye for batiks. The infinite shades of blue, and the extreme lightfastness of indigo intrigued her, and indigo research and dye vats soon took over her studio. Dying with indigo requires both science and art. The results are batiks that have an other worldly feel, a haunting stillness, and though the images are beautiful, they reveal an incomplete visual story. These monochromatic images will encourage the viewer to see the familiar in a new light as well.
Cindy’s batiks are known for the high level of detail and painterly quality she is able to express with the medium. A long background of drawing has guided her work. Cindy uses a tjanting tool from Indonesia to apply hot wax much in the same way as an artist uses a quill to lay down ink. Layer by layer the liquid wax seals the color she wants to preserve, before the next dye is applied. Her process of building colors directly on the fabric is unique, and creates the depth of color seen in her batiks. “Balancing the technical process while keeping a feel of spontaneity is my overall focus as I work on a piece” Cindy explains.
During the past five years, Cindy’s work has caught the attention of both jurists and collectors. She has been included in numerous regional shows and her batiks grace the homes of many collectors around the country. She teaches her technique in classes at The Bascom Center for the Arts in Highlands NC, as well as locally.
A short history of indigo and its role in St. Augustines past, plus A hands on demonstration of batik and the indigo dying process will be presented Saturday Feb 22, at Butterfield Gallery.
