STRIPES, A Solo Exhibit by Linda Schuler
I’ve always been drawn to things made by hand… art that carries a story, a memory, a little piece of the person who created it. My love for making art began when I was young, sitting beside my grandparents as they sewed, cooked, and crafted beautiful, imperfect, meaningful things. Those moments shaped not only my creativity, but the way I see the world.
Travel has also been a lifelong inspiration. I inherited a deep sense of wanderlust from my grandparents, and I’ve followed it across countries and continents… often with a camera in hand. I take hundreds of photos each week, capturing textures, colors, faces, and everyday moments that later find their way into my paintings. I usually select just one or two of my favorites to transform into artwork, letting intuition guide which images become part of my collection.
Whether I’m exploring a new place or working quietly in my studio, my greatest joy is creating pieces that make people feel something… connection, nostalgia, curiosity, peace. If my work brought you here, I’m so glad. I’d love for you to look around and enjoy the gallery. Knowing someone has stopped by to share in this creative journey means the world to me.

Margaret Culver Solo Exhibit
I have been an active horsewoman for most of my life. My experiences with horses have inspired me and given me a special insight into their world of emotion and spirit. With my art, I strive to share the wonder and reverence I have for these magnificent beings. I wish to depict their unique strength and passion, along with their kindness and devotion. These are aspects of the horse that I know to be true. I have had my horse save me from certain disaster when I have made a mistake jumping a fence. I have felt my horse step up and correct my error, avoiding a crash. I have had my horse carry me through forests so thick that I have had to bury my face in his neck to avoid getting knocked off his back. Not being able to see where I was going, I have trusted him to safely gallop through until it was safe for me to look up again. I also treasure the quiet times with my horse when he sees me and eagerly canters to the gate to greet me and say hello. I enjoy hearing him gently nicker when I walk to his stall to scratch his head and have him nuzzle my cheek. These elements inspire my art. I hope you can share them with me.

This Is Us
a member’s exhibition
The face behind the art.
Have you ever wondered who is the artist behind the art you just purchased? In
viewing artworks, are you curious as to how the artist achieved that technique?
Conversely, artists love to know who is interested in their art.
From February 3 to March 1, 2026 the Fifth Avenue Art Gallery will host a special
member exhibition entitled “This Is Us”. The concept is to add a personal touch
to the variety of paintings, sculpture and photography currently on display in the
gallery. Each of our thirteen members will be present to discuss their work,
technique and vision. This is a unique event and offers a great opportunity for
the public to interact directly with our artists.
The February 6 event will include music, refreshments and a chance to win a
fabulous gift basket of member art. This should prove to be a unique and
informative evening for everyone. Come out and support the arts!
The members of Fifth Avenue Art Gallery present their newest and best!
February Pop-Up Exhibit
Barbara Desroisers
Intuitively Speaking, Conversations with the Guardians
My risk-taking methods to create works of art weave together a theme in creative exploration, contemplative beauty, fragility and strength and mystery.
“My works of art over several years is an expression of my natural and spiritual revelations. I create a range of landscapes in simple relevance, in working with ink, and oil color mediums. I seek to give them a place to belong that would create a relationship over time to which one’s thoughts and ideas spiritually flow.”
Artist’s Statement
Creation has been my driving force since I could hold a crayon. Art, the
creation of and the viewing of, has always been a spiritual search, a search for
connection to the other side. After years of being a representational artist, The
Guardians emerged for me in 1981. In the beginning they were but a
suggested presence in the background. However, in recent years they have
grown to be my sole focus. They are a bridge between this reality and the
unseen reality that exists just beyond our breath.
My work has morphed from representational to the more intuitive abstract
work that I now produce. Creating is my form of personal meditation. If my
work speaks to you, that is wonderful. I feel it finds its own audience. I do not
assign meaning to it, that is entirely up to you, the viewer, to define. Each
piece has a message for personal interpretation. I do not claim the power to
know what that might be for you. Please, spend some time conversing with my
Guardians and see if you, too, can find a connection.

Elise Geary Solo Exhibition
Elise Geary is a multiple award winning artist from Vero Beach. Since retiring from her medical practice in NC, she has been able to devote herself fully to her long standing love of creating art.
Her inspiration stems from the widely varying energies and elements of nature (calm vs. turbulent, gentle vs. forceful, quiet vs. energetic)…as well as the beauty that surrounds us each day.
Realistic elements are purposely minimized as she uses color and dynamic techniques to paint the power and mood of a place, time, or thing rather than the actual thing itself. This allows the viewer to connect to the painting in their own individual way based on their own unique inner core of experiences.

Lost & Found—Take VII, An Invitational Exhibit
How it works…
Back by popular demand… This exhibit is all about creativity, and YOU are invited to participate. We had such a great response to both the original Lost & Found show several years ago and again in August of 2021. Along with being an exciting opportunity for creative types, it is a fabulous exhibit of finished work that everyone coming to the gallery has enjoyed!
You, the creative person (you don’t have to be a “professional artist) purchase one of our pre-assembled kits which contains all the “elements” that you must include, in some manner, to create your mixed media assemblage. You can add to it to go further than what’s in the kit… that’s just part of being your creative-self. We hope you take the challenge. Kits will be available for purchase mid-April, 2025. The finished artworks will be displayed and for sale, throughout the month of July and we will have an exciting opening reception for all our participants on Friday, July 4, 2024. LIMITED SPACE!
