One of the artists that will be on display this weekend is Lisa Presnail. She has been making photographic portraits since 2005. Lisa’s first love is studio
photography, where she designs dramatic portraits using a combination of artificial and natural light. She is serving as the artist Liaison on behalf of the Artist Enclave. Lisa is working on several new themes, exploring light and texture. An ever-present expression in her work is her commitment to the celebration of our animal friends,
especially dogs. (Artwork sample left).
What is the Artist Enclave and why is it so unique?
In 2014, the St. Petersburg City Council unanimously approved an Artist Enclave Overlay District in the Historic Kenwood Neighborhood. The special distinction allows a limited amount of commercial activity to take place. Artists can create artwork, teach students and sell their creations from their own homes. These special accommodations encourage a thriving arts community. Only two of these special artists’ overlays exist in St. Petersburg.
