Monday Night is Coffee with the Counselor! – The Journey of Grief

“Tears are the silent language grief” — Voltaire.

In our lives, we will grieve many things: the loss of a beloved family member or friend, a dear pet, the ending of a relationship, and the loss of health or abilities, to name a few. These losses and the grief that comes are natural but a dreaded part of our life.

Please join us as we discuss how grief affects the mind, body, and spirit. We will also look at coping strategies that may help with the healing journey.

Speakers: Winnie Holland, LMHC, and Susan O’Neil, LMHC. Both counselors work at House of Mercy and Encouragement.

Coffee & Conversation with Dolores Coe

It’s Back… It’s LIVE!!!

Hanging out, drinking delicious coffee, talking about art… ahh, that’s the life! Well, that IS the life at least for an hour or so each month at the Dunedin Fine Art Center’s Coffee and Conversation series. Enjoy coffee (Presented by the Sterling Society of DFAC) and insights as each month’s guest holds forth on their expertise. Admission to these relaxed talks is $5 and is FREE to current DFAC members.

The series welcomes artist Dolores Coe. The title of his presentation is Field Notes & Tracks – In & Out of the Studio.

“I live and work on a riverbank, on a fragile coastline of powerful forces: blazing sun and saturated color, deterioration and generation, the randomly abandoned roots that don’t grow deep but spread and intertwine, the flatness, space, and always a horizon line—and endlessly fascinating humans. I work with visual parallels in creating paintings.” – DC.

In this conversation, Florida-based artist Dolores Coe will discuss a selection from her painting series and projects, tracing inspiration and ideas over time and highlighting the evolved processes and explorations. Included will be working from her new series of “child/hood/scapes,” a pandemic-fueled and inspired change. Woven into the mix will be the notion of the pivotal role of that “other thing,” familiar to most artists, that is crucial in informing studio works–and extends outward as a reciprocal, creative force.

For Coe, those “other things” include working along the banks of the Little Manatee River, building by hand a mountain cabin/studio photo documenting “Funky Florida,” poetry, and travel… and balancing her solitary practice in the studio with the privilege of engaging with others extensively in teaching, counseling, and collaborative roles over time, developing arts-based programs in art and non-art endeavors.
