LAKELAND, FL – Dee Sabean has a knack for drawing images that look as though they will rise up and walk. She’s bringing her 3-D “fine artist meets street painter” style to The Loft Art Gallery in May.
The show debuts during the First Friday festivities on May 3. A reception with live music, wine and hors d’oeuvres is scheduled for 6 - 9 p.m.
Sabean, who is based in St. Petersburg, drew and painted as a child, but stopped for about two decades to raise a family. She re-ignited that passion in 2005. Since then, she has won several awards in street painting festivals. Her two art forms feed one another.
“My canvas painting style takes on a 3-D feel, as if the observer were looking down on the street,” Sabean says. “As far as subject matter, it leans to the absurd. I leave the reasons for that to a good analyst.”
The Loft Art Gallery is located upstairs in Paint Along Studios in downtown Lakeland
at 123 S. Kentucky Ave. Hours are: Mondays, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Tuesdays-Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Fridays 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Saturdays, 5-10 p.m. Call (863) 409-5771 for more information or visit www.loftartgallerydowntown.com.
