45 Central Artist Reception: Kathleen Broaderick

45 Central celebrates the wine bar's Artist of the Month: Kathleen Broaderick. You're invited to come out for the opening reception on Thursday, January 5 from 4-6pm in Seaside, Florida.  Enjoy the evening on the square in Seaside with light hors d'oeuvres served for guests. Happy hour is from 4:00 - 6:00 - half off wine by the glass. Come mix and mingle in the beautiful wine bar as well as out on the deck overlooking Seaside's central square and enjoy the good life with friends at the beach. This is the final artist reception and exhibition in a year long (plus) series showcasing local artists on the tall walls in the wine bar.

Meet South Walton artist Kathleen Broaderick and see some of her work exhibited at 45 Central. Formerly a primary school educator, Broaderick has focused on being a fulltime professional artist since February 2015. Though she has worked in watercolor for a number of years, she loves the “beautiful transparency and luminosity” of oils.

Preferring to work quickly and spontaneously this artist steeps her subjects in rich color with bold, decisive brush strokes, “I’m not so concerned with delineating the exact details or colors of the subject as I am in creating a beautiful impression of it,” Broaderick said of her artistic approach.

The inspiration of the Sunshine State is apparent in Broaderick’s vibrant work, perhaps because she grew up in South Florida and attended Florida State University. She lived in England, Chicago and Stuart, Fla., before settling here on the Emerald Coast in 2000 with her husband of 27 years and two sons.

Now, a full-time artist, she wakes up early to paint or walk on the beach for inspiration. Learn more: kathleenbroaderick.com.
