Roxanne Lewis<br />
We asked Roxanne what was her favorite art form, she responded “I find the most compelling<br />
art form to be oils on canvas because I believe the vibrant colors bring life to my painting.”<br />
Roxanne became a member of the Delray Art League because of its long standing great reputation<br />
in the community. The Delray Art League has been in existence for over 50 years and<br />
Roxanne is happy and honored to be a part of it.<br />
When you ask Roxanne why she loves Delray Beach her comment would be that she loves the<br />
rich culture and the arts including the wonderful music scene, and of course the restaurants and<br />
shops on <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>nue. Roxanne feels that “It is my pleasure to be a small part of this great<br />
area and Delray Beach.<br />
Kathryn Carlyle<br />
When we asked Kathryn what do you find most compelling about your chosen art form, her<br />
reply was “My chosen art form is that of a painter and a one-of-a-kind jewelry designer. I<br />
believe that this all comes together in my materials, venues and the individuals they appeal to.”<br />
Kathryn has pursued this interesting pair of media all of her life, her inspiration is realized from<br />
interludes during her diverse travel experiences and her dream sleep.<br />
Kathryn uses metal leaf in her pieces, whether it be 22 karat gold, silver or copper, “My 2D<br />
abstract expressionism relates congruently to the precious metals that I use in my one of a kind<br />
art jewelry.”<br />
She has been an active member of the Delray Art League for the last 15 years, participating<br />
in the downtown outdoor shows with her talented fellow colleagues. Her efforts have always<br />
proved to be popular and profitable at the art league exhibits and for the donations generated<br />
to the arts education scholarship fund from her sales.<br />
Kathryn like most Delray residents will tell you that she loves <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>nue downtown as<br />
it encompasses a full array of the best that Delray has to offer. Entertainment, dining, the arts,<br />
festivals and shopping, from her experience are her favorites as she has lived in the immediate<br />
downtown area of Delray Beach for a decade. kathryn_carlyle@comcast.net<br />

Moneta<br />
Moneta is one of the Delray Art Leagues most colorful artists which begins with the idea that<br />
you will always be on a first name basis with her as she goes by one name and that is “Moneta”<br />
What defines Moneta as an artist and what she finds most compelling in her work comes from<br />
an experience that she had years ago as she came through New York City’s Kennedy Airport for<br />
the very first time. As she was walking through the terminal into the open expanse there was<br />
a large massive piece of colorful art hanging from the ceiling. She couldn’t help but notice the<br />
large three dimensional Alexander Calder mobile and the feeling it created inside her from its<br />
presence overhead.<br />
Moneta has been a Delray Art League member for many years, loves downtown Delray and<br />
all it has to offer and as an artist you will find she participates in outdoor art shows in Delray<br />
regularly. She can easily be found as her work is well, large, and true to the form and experience<br />
that guides her.
