SUMMARY:Summer State of Mind Brunch with Kristy Woodson Harvey

On her first day at her “simpler” job\, high school baseball coach Mason Thaysden discovers an abandoned baby\, sending ripples through the entire tight-knit town of Cape Carolina. \nMason is still struggling to reconcile the scars of the injury that kept him out of the big leagues\, stuck in his hometown\, and searching for a way out. This newcomer and the child they’ve saved together might be just the motivation he needs to stay put. Sparks fly as Mason acquaints Daisy with Cape Carolina\, introducing her to his friends and family\, including his batty Aunt Tilley\, who is looking for relief from long-buried family secrets and her own fresh start. \nBut as Daisy becomes increasingly attached to this abandoned child\, and begins facing her own demons in the process\, a startling discovery is made that threatens to rip the entire town of Cape Carolina apart\, placing Daisy\, Mason\, and Tilley in the center of the storm. In a novel that proves that “Kristy Woodson Harvey is (the) go-to for elevated beach reads” (People)\, they will each learn that with love\, understanding—and a community theater production of Hello\, Dolly!—sometimes life conspires to bring us just exactly where we belong. \nBrunch location: Coral Bay Club1901 W Fort Macon Rd\, Atlantic Beach\, NC 28512 \nCost: $80.07

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with our Featured Gallery Artist BF Reed!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an Artist Talk with our Featured Gallery Artist BF Reed\, April 25th from 11:00am to 12:00pm in the Beaufort Historic Site Welcome Center at 130 Turner Street\, Beaufort\, NC. Coffee and refreshments will be available as Reed will present an engaging artist talk and live demonstration focused on the pastel medium. She will begin with a brief overview of pastel – its history\, unique qualities\, and why it remains a powerful and often misunderstood fine art medium. The demonstration will follow\, offering insight into her personal process\, including surface preparation\, layering techniques\, and the development of light and form. Visitors will have the opportunity to see how a painting evolves in real time and to ask questions throughout the session.\n \nThis event is FREE\, although an RSVP is requested so we can prepare adequate seating for those who plan to attend. RSVP by calling 252.728.5225 Monday – Saturday\, 9:30am – 5:00pm.\nBF Reed is a contemporary artist working in both highly realistic pastel and expressive abstract acrylic painting. Her work explores light\, reflection\, and the balance between control and spontaneity—often juxtaposing precise observation with atmospheric\, intuitive mark-making. Drawing inspiration from coastal North Carolina and carefully constructed still life arrangements\, her paintings invite viewers to pause and look more closely at the interplay between reality and perception.\n \nAnd this recent news: We congratulate BF Reed on her 2nd Place award at the Wilmington Art Association’s 44th Annual Juried Art Show last month! The painting that received the award is ‘Tea Before the Clouds Move’ pictured far right in the accompanying image\, which is indicative of her love of blue and white porcelain and reflective objects. Curing waves\, glass\, botanicals\, and koi are also prominent subjects in her work.\nBF is currently our featured artist in the Mattie King Davis Gallery where many stunning pastel pieces are on display and available for purchase. Don’t miss the April 25th talk or her show in the Gallery through May 27\, 2026!

She later transferred and completed her formal studies at the prestigious Tyler School of Art\, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree.  Both schools had rigorous and demanding programs but with different focuses. This divergence in educational view point enhanced and completed her overall background. This education launched her professional career as Medical Illustrator at Temple University’s Medical School. There\, she created exquisitely detailed images of animal and human biological and surgical illustrations and procedures. As a “visual translator”\, she converted complex scientific information into a visual form to address the needs of an array of health science professionals. \nLater\, armed with a degree in Illustration and Graphic Design\, she tapped into her well-honed artistic talent to work as a graphic artist/illustrator. With her creative flair\, she visualized and designed captivating images\, by hand and later with software\, for marketing logos\, posters\, brochures and magazines for an assortment of major entertainment events. Throughout it all\, she painted. She traveled extensively and visually recorded her destinations in many paintings and drawings. Expanding upon her original formal education\, she developed a deeper appreciation and understanding of image making and the study of light. Light captivates BF Reed and she often looks for a way to show how light defines the form. This formal education and occupation developed an affinity for detail that enjoyably still shows in her realistic art work today. Her work is sometimes referred to as hyper real though Bf Reed does not agree with this assignment of terms to her work. She notes that it is\, “just realistic.” Perhaps as a respite from this realism\, BF Reed also creates large abstracts that have no bases in reality. Just strong design. She notes that this is where her mind goes to rest. It rests in a world of just shapes and forms and colors. \nHer masterful paintings reflect the tireless years that she has devoted to creating and developing her craft. Her extensive portfolio of paintings reveals the full range of her current expertise because she admits to enjoying more creative learning and growth. BF Reed is known for skillfully captures the immense power of the raging ocean crashing ashore or the graceful dance of multi-colored butterfly Koi\, while her stunning abstracts scream for attention. \nAlong the way she worked as an educator\, she shared her vast artistic experience with a generation of students. Exposing them to the splendor of art\, art history and inspiring them to unlock their imaginations. She helped develop in them both the love and discipline of art and imagine making that many of them carried on to their adult lives. She has always been an artist. Even as a preschooler\, she could often be found with pencil in hand – doing what she loved – creating. \nBF Reed’s work has been accepted into many national and international competitive exhibitions and has won awards in those arenas. Her exquisite water color and pastel paintings and acrylic abstracts have been exhibited in numerous galleries across the US and internationally. Her paintings are held in various private\, diplomatic and corporate collections in the US and abroad. You can find her work at New Elements Gallery in Wilmington\, NC\, Centerpiece Gallery in Raleigh\, NC\, as well as Mattie King Davis Gallery in Historic Beaufort\, NC. BF Reed has earned signature membership status with the International Association of Pastel Societies\, American Women Artists\, Degas Pastel Society and the Pastel Society of North Carolina. \nhttps://www.bfreedfinearts.com/ \n
