BJ Royster Marine Life ArtistLOCAL ARTWORK, COASTAL DESIGN DEFINES THE REIMAGINED HAWKS CAYDUCK KEY, Fla. – March 27, 2019 – Hawks Cay Resort in the Florida Keys is becoming an art destination in itself. The popular resort reopened as a reimagined, complete getaway last fall following a $50 million renovation with a new design throughout inspired by its coastal surroundings. The design element that centerpieces the renovation is the recent addition of marine artwork by well-known local artist B.J. Royster. |
Artists are Stewards of the Keys’ Natural World |
NEW YORK TIMESNew York Time July, 5 2015 Upper Florida Keys has a history of reinventing itself. Practically annihilated by the 1935 Labor Day hurricane (still considered the strongest to reach landfall in the United States), this “Village of Islands” became known for quality sport fishing, attracting professional and amateur anglers from around the world. On the artistic front, Islamorada was a sleeper of an area for years because serious art lovers often headed toward the galleries at Key West. But recently, a spate of galleries and working studios set up by islanders and transplants has highlighted a growing community of artists whose voice is defined predominantly by local marine life. Soon, artists began setting up storefronts in the area. The acrylics painter BJ Royster opened her eponymous gallery a year and a half ago opposite the arts district, where she sells nautical-style jewelry and large photorealism paintings focusing on the area’s coral reefs, dolphins and aquatic life like the queen angelfish and trunkfish. |
