4th of July Beach Art Show in Brigantine

4th of July Beach Art Show in Brigantine

Featuring the coastal artwork of Donna Elias

Donna Elias Studios will present a three day “Beach Art Show” outside their gallery in Brigantine Beach, on July 2, 3 and 4. The show will feature hundreds of nautical themed original paintings, fine art prints and home décor items designed and painted by award winning watercolor artist Donna Elias.

Donna Elias, an Atlantic City native, gained national prominence in the 1990’s when her “Great American Lighthouses Collection” became a best-selling series of work.  Elias has painted over 300 American lighthouses with images representing every coastal state. Most of Elias’ more recent work is of other coastal architecture as well as serene beach settings, but the artist is still passionate about the historic beacons that established her career.

Donna Elias business was a national affair for 20 years with her husband, Les Kammerman, running the company that distributed her work to over 600 business and handling over twenty international product licenses. The artist has had showings at dozens of lighthouse museums around the country as well as at commercial venues such as Walt Disney World and Sea World. She also designed the grand opening poster for Universal Studios Islands of Adventure in Florida and has appeared on QVC.

After Super Storm Sandy severely damaged their Atlantic City warehouse, destroying half of Elias’ original work and print inventory, the couple decided to reset and simplify their life. Elias wanted more time to travel and paint without the pressures of a national business. The couple now spend their winters in Florida, where Elias works and shows at festivals around the state. In the summer, they return to Atlantic City where they live in an historic boathouse on Clam Creek. This May, Elias opened a new seasonal gallery in Brigantine Beach next to her office and studio. 

Donna Elias’ Beach Art Show and Sale will take place on 31st street south, between Brigantine Blvd and Revere Blvd, from 10 am to 6 pm, Tuesday through Thursday. The show is free and open to the public. Ms. Elias will be on hand to sign all purchases and to discuss her work with those attending. In event of inclement weather, the show will take place the following week. For more information phone 609-266-5826.
