Staniel Cay is truly like no other place on earth. The island is nestled in the magnificent chain of Bahamian Out Islands called The Exuma Cays (a.k.a. “Exumas”) and lies approximately 75 miles southeast of Nassau and 250 miles southeast of Florida. The island itself is less than two square miles in area and with a population of less than eighty full-time residents, Staniel Cay is the ideal place to escape from the cares of the world. The Yacht Club has been entertaining guests since 1956 and introducing them to the unspoiled beauty of secluded beaches, bright blue waters, and friendly people. You will not find more inspiring land and waterscapes anywhere in the world.

Ceramics by Florence Pénault
Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.
-William Morris
The Lori Warner Gallery is pleased to announce an Artist's Reception with Florence Pénault to introduce her work to our creative community and beyond. The reception is Saturday, November 17th from 5 – 8pm. Pénault was inspired by the book “An Unknown Craftsman: A Japanese Insight Into Beauty”, and is dedicated to create functional pieces referencing historical forms with the intention for people to use and appreciate them in their everyday life. She discovered the pleasure of working with clay in 2004 when she moved from France to a Guilford, Connecticut. Pénault was trained by Darrell Finnegan, a Boston ceramicist, and at the Harvard Ceramic Program, in addition to learning techniques through different workshops in Paris.

PAST HAPPENINGS
Horizon in Vertical - a new series of monotype prints by Lori Warner
"I’ve been exploring color balance in this new series, and find inspiration in the simple placement of colors in relation to one another.”
Lori Warner’s new series of monotype prints, Horizon in Vertical will also be on view. Giving herself strict perimeters in which to create a new series of monotype prints, Warner succeeds in working with horizontal bands of color within a vertical plate emphasizing the balance of color. The result is an exciting shift in composition by focusing on and repeating the horizon line in ocean landscapes.
WEEKEND OF DIAMONDS
Friday, July 27th (11-6) - Monday, July 30th (11-4). Please join us at this special event featuring a custom selection of natural, unheated, colored diamonds.You're welcome to drop-in at any time during our weekend event; no appointment necessary.

Leiva’s exquisite work with natural, colored diamonds are amongst the gallery's most sought after pieces.

By working together with the designer, and it’s simple to stay within a budget! Guests are also encouraged to bring in their 'no longer enjoyed' jewelry pieces to consult with Mandy on creating new pieces using the stones from these older pieces with adding some of our diamonds as a compliment stone.
