The Floridant/10316887

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - Floridant -- Gulf Coast Gallery, located at Gulf Coast Village, a senior living community in Cape Coral, will celebrate its newest exhibit, Furry, Feathered and Fabulous, with an artist meet and greet on Oct. 8 from 2 to 4 p.m.

The Gulf Coast Gallery is in collaboration with participating artists from the North Fort Myers Arts Association, along with resident artists.

The exhibit is centered around celebrating the animal world. To kick off the exhibit's feature in the gallery, guests will have the opportunity to talk with artists featured in the exhibit and enjoy light refreshments. Guests will also participate in voting for their favorite piece as a "People's Choice Award."

Pam Cupp, the featured artist, focuses on a simplistic approach to her art. Cupp started painting after she retired and moved to Florida a few years ago. She mostly paints on palm fronds, but for the exhibit she has been working on painting wood.

"I love to paint animals, and I like to do palm trees," Cupp said.
