| This combined event, showcasing new works of Sarasota-based artists Tim Jaeger and Cassia Kite, offers art lovers and curious critics an evening of family-friendly indulgence and wonder. Jaeger’s portraits are simple, quiet and introspective; presented in a straightforward and unadorned fashion. Portraits are inherently a celebration of a life. These works are a memorialization of the inner essence of the subject, not just a literal likeness. Kite’s series consists of intimate hand stitches and miniature works representative of landscapes and objects. These works exhibit as objects and places but embody the concept of portraiture. The opening reception is one of several evening happenings worth exploring in historic downtown Palmetto on Saturday, December 6th, including Palmetto’s Christmas in the Park. |
