Dolores M.
Dolores is a talented and prolific artist with a strong sense of order and vision. Her work has been exhibited at Studio@620, artlink, folkfest st. pete 2007 and 2008, and is in numerous private collections. Dolores’ newest paintings, a series of Florida River Houses, are currently on exhibit in the Creative Clay gallery. “I’ve always been inspired by outdoor nature and scenery. Painting these old Florida river houses (Cracker Houses) are just a part of my past traveling days of canoeing. I’ve always brought my Canon camera with me, looking for live action, various historical subjects or close-ups of nature. Then I select the most eye-catching photographs to paint from. Painting these river houses is a way for me to relive the experiences of connecting with the environments that I cherish from long ago. As time travels on, I consider myself more of a true artist. I believe that I have that natural born artistic ability to create something out of nothing.” – Dolores M.

Making the Arts accessible to All
Creative Clay's mission is to make the arts accessible for every interested member of the Tampa Bay community regardless of age, gender, ability and/or race.
Since 1995, Creative Clay has been providing local artists with developmental, physical and/or emotional disabilities an opportunity to pursue their passion for art making. Our arts programs consist of studio and community based activities for exploring unique personal realities in an inventive, professional environment. We now have eight arts programs to serve various populations who traditionally have been marginalized.
Creative Clay is committed to promoting the work created by its member artists through bimonthly art exhibitions in our downtown gallery and various public venues throughout the greater Tampa Bay region. Please contact Creative Clay for information about commissioning artwork or about art leasing opportunities for business environments.
