Karen Moran, owner of Magnet Social Media in Matlacha, collaborated with her two clients and Matlacha artisans for Fort Myers Art Walk last Friday night.

Leoma Lovegrove of Lovegrove Gallery & Gardens and Frank Schooley of Terrapeg’s eco-friendly furniture joined forces to paint live in the main window of The Franklin Shops in downtown Fort Myers. While Lovegrove was only scheduled to paint until 8 p.m., she painted past 10 p.m. as crowds gathered all night.

Hundreds of passers-by stopped and admired as Lovegrove wore her signature white glasses and danced as she morphed Terrapeg’s furniture into one-of-a-kind colorful pieces. Watchers even stopped to snap pictures of themselves in white glasses Leoma painted on the window of The Franklin Shops.

She artistically crafted a total of five furniture pieces – a side board, a coffee table, a round living room side table, small step stool, and a large step stool.

Lovegrove’s limited edition painted Terrapeg pieces are available for sale exclusively at Lovegrove Gallery & Gardens in Matlacha.
