Elizabeth Devries, a one woman show at the Key West Art Center, 301 Front Street, Key West.
Show runs February 1st - February 14th.
Elizabeth Devries arrived in Key West in 1980 from Liverpool, England, never having had a hammer in her hand. Her art grew directly from the past 30 years of shutter restorations in Key West. It was in the '90s when she noticed a jigsaw scrap that looked like a book. Her first creation was " The Library", the beginning of her life in art.
"I use only recovered Dade County pine and cypress from old Key West houses for the construction of my boxes. Years and layers of Key West's colorful past lie beneath the surface of the shutters used inside each box, the patinas created by years of rain and sun. Reds are from the shutters of Tennessee William's House; lime green from Hemmingway's house; light blue from Tom McGuane's on Catholic Lane. Key West history is literally a part of my work." States 'Lizzie', the Key West Shutter Lady. (Edited for space constraints)

ENCORE FEATURE
The Aquaculture Laboratory at Florida Keys Community College made an exciting discovery. For the first time since Hurricane Irma, one breeding pair of clownfish laid a clutch of eggs. The breeders, a standard wild-type "Nemo" female crossed with a male "Black Ice Snowflake" designer male, have been regular spawners for the past year and a half in the College's facility and have parented many hundreds of young. However, breeding came to a halt after the lab was relocated temporarily after the storm damaged the building where it was housed.
"Finding 'Nemo' eggs was a beautiful way to start the New Year! Even our clownfish have shown remarkable resilience following Irma," said Dr. Michelle "Mick" Walsh, Professor of Marine Science and Technology at FKCC. Many of the fish in the College's Aquaculture Lab survived the storm despite hours without power to their tanks.
"We look forward to the pair's continued contributions to support our Marine Environmental Technology and Tropical Ornamental Mariculture Technician students during the lab-based aquaculture classes this semester."

New Exhibition at Frangipani Featuring 3 Local Artists. 1102 Duval, Key West.. Shows run through February.
No exhibit of David's popular works would be complete without a nod to our four legged friends, and so he has a series of oils on small canvas panels; simple "drawings" of hounds on nearly Venetian patterns. Most of his compositions have a bit of text in them to inspire a thought or a laugh.
Carrie Andrews has been gettin
g to know the lower Keys since the early 1980's, when her family began spending winters here. She is now living aboard an iconic houseboat in a community of amazing people and painting the places she has adored for decades. Living in a small space means working on small watercolors in a sketchbook and enhancing the images with other media before uploading to a computer for final tweaking. She then sends for prints on fabric, metal and 100% cotton rag paper.
Sandy Sun creates unique ceramic pieces and vessels by hand. Most of her works are inspired by the natural beauty of the Florida Keys. Her new works focus on growth and new life and include ocean themed pieces and pieces that incorporate local tropical leaves and flowers. Often described as organic, Sandy's pottery reflects both the variants and symmetry found in nature.

Rams Head Presents Michael McDonald at the New Sunset Green Event Lawn
Five-time Grammy Award winning vocalist and acclaimed singer/songwriter Michael McDonald will perform at the new Sunset Green Event Lawn at 24 North Hotel on February 28th.
One of the world's most distinctive singing voices, Michael McDonald is often imitated but never duplicated (although Justin Timberlake has come close on "The Tonight Show" to comedic effect, as has actor John Viener on "Family Guy"). He's had enough humility over the years to freely blend that voice with others', whether as a member of Steely Dan, a Doobie Brother, as a highly successful solo artist and songwriter, or a member of the supergroup the Dukes of September. Fans who've wanted to hear that 50,000-watt clear channel of a voice all by itself have had to bide their time-not just minute by minute, but year by year-waiting for McDonald to reclaim a solo spotlight.
Enter Wide Open, McDonald's first new album in nine years, and his first set of all-original material since 2000. McDonald has nonetheless remained relevant through the early 21st century; he received his 13th Grammy nomination for Motown, a platinum-selling tribute to the greatest of all soul labels. He subsequently released a top 10-charting sequel, Motown Two along with a Christmas album, both of which certified as Gold Records. Following came Soul Speak, a collection of classic covers and a handful of original songs. But Wide Open finds him rediscovering his other voice-that is, his songwriting voice- in a big way, penning or co-writing 11 of the album's 12 tracks. It's a cogent reminder that he won Record and Song of the Year Grammys for co-writing as well as singing the Doobie Brothers hit "What a Fool Believes." Wide Open marks a return to that classic's emotional urgency alongside fiercer and fresher band arrangements than he's ever created before.

Slow down and tune in with yoga at The Studios of Key West taught by Cricket Desmarais
Enrich your health and lifestyle, advance your personal yoga practice, or simply slow down to create space and calm with Cricket Desmarais at The Studios of Key West on Friday mornings from 9:00am to 10:00am, January 26, February 2, February 9, February 16, and February 23.
The five-week series of classes are a great introduction to those new to yoga or for those looking to deepen their practice. Students will learn to connect with their breath and experience micro-movement, with a slow, steady build towards strength, balance, and flexibility- with an emphasis on safe alignment.
"This gentle but powerful approach to yoga is supportive to any age or stage of life," says instructor Cricket Desmarais, who has been teaching Slow Flow yoga since 2012, including YMCA classes where ages ranged from 19-78 in the same hour. "It gives you the space needed to soften and meet yourself where you are, and helps your inner radar know when you're going too far- or not working to optimal capacity."
Desmarais emphasizes that though the class speed is toned-down, the experience is often quite powerful.
"Slow Flow Yoga offers a nice counterpoint to a culture that is hard-wired to consistently push hard and fast," she says. "It gives us the opportunity to slow down for an hour and really feel ourselves from the inside out. In that space, a lot can be revealed."
