Cape resident’s artwork on display at Hall’s office
Lee County Commissioner Tammy Hall is supporting local artists by giving them an opportunity to display their artwork in her Fort Myers office. This month, Cape Coral artist Emily Kilgore’s artwork will be on display. This is Kilgore’s first public display of her artwork.
The exhibit includes original oil paintings and sculptures made of welded steel and wood. A special piece featured is the “Freedom” statue that has been donated by the artist to the City of Fort Myers to be displayed at a city facility. Kilgore used a chain saw to carve the “Freedom” sculpture from a mahogany tree that was hit by lightening at the Fort Myers Country Club.
Other local artists will be featured at four to six week intervals. Commissioner Hall’s office is on the first floor of the Old County Courthouse, 2120 Main St., in downtown Fort Myers. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
