2025-01-09 17:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Hirdie Girdie Gallery, 2490 Library Way, Sanibel, FL, 33957
I am excited to announce that I am the guest artist at the Hirdie Girdie Gallery the month of January 2025. The Hirdie Girdie Gallery is located at 2490 Library Way, Sanibel Island, Florida.
Also featured for the month of January is the amazing sculptor, Stan Dzedszy. Stan Dzedzy’s dragons, imaginative creatures, and whimsical figures have come to characterize his handcrafted stoneware.
I will be in attendance, along with Stan, for the art reception being held at the Hirdie Girdie Gallery January 9th from 5 – 8 pm. I was a member of this 30 year old gallery for several years, and it will be nice to be there and see some old friends. Maybe you?

Martha Dodd: Your Skills, New Medium: Oil Painting for Artists (3-Day workshop)
2026-11-06 - 2026-11-08 | Fort Myers Beach Art Association, 13451 McGregor Blvd, unit #1, Fort Myers, FL, 33919, United States
Class size is limited to 10 participants. Get your reservation in early!

If you already think like an artist but have never worked with oil paint, this workshop is designed for you. Rather than starting from scratch, we’ll build on the skills you already have—composition, color awareness, mark-making—and translate them into the rich, flexible language of oils.
You’ll learn the essential techniques that make oil painting unique, from layering and blending to understanding drying time and materials, all in a supportive, low-pressure environment. Along the way, we’ll demystify common concerns and help you develop confidence handling this classic medium.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a strong foundation in oil painting and a deeper sense of how your existing artistic voice can evolve through a new medium.
Come ready to experiment, explore, and bring what you already know into something new.
This is a 3 day workshop, starting on Friday June 5th, 2026. Hours:Friday: 9:30am -3:30pmSaturday: 9:30am -3:30pmSunday: 1:30pm – 3:30pm
