‘Stretch of Sea’ Opens at Hidden Lantern Gallery

Krista Luter 30A Morning 300x200 Stretch of Sea Opens at Hidden Lantern Gallery

Krista Luter’s “30A Morning”

The Hidden Lantern Gallery in Rosemary Beach announced the opening of A Stretch of Sea featuring two artists, Didon Comer and Krista Luter, from June 21st to July 28th, 2012.

The sea is in Didon Comer’s continuous view as she paints from vast glass panels on the south, east and west sides of an ocean-view studio in Old Seagrove Beach.  The sea’s perpetual presence and Comer’s resulting familiarity with her subject are reflected in the subtle yet modernist use of acrylic washes and gloss gels that come together to speak so accurately to the sea and sky’s infinite color spectrum.  A local artist since 1979 (when she moved to Seagrove Beach), Comer’s work has become well-known the South Walton arts community.  She has been featured in an array of southeastern venues and was named Artist of the Year by Otto’s Gallery in Ellijay, Georgia.

“I love simplicity,” said Luter. “I love light. I love to capture a feeling or a fleeting moment. My camera is my magic ticket, an invitation to go places, talk to people, exceed boundaries and to create.”
