Hiss! BOOM! Squat! Join Petticoat Painter, PHILOMENA MARANO to learn more about her art of Papier Colle. ARTIST TALK: Sunday, July 26 at 3pm at Werk Gallery, 2210 First Ave S, St. Pete. Exhibition dates: July 3- Aug. 2.
Philomena is most known for her paper cutting abilities and the sense of wonder she instills in her art, both her fanciful undersea works (which she calls“wUndersea” ) and her Coney Island and circus pieces. Her cut paper images pull the viewer in and sometimes fool them into thinking they seeing a printed or painted artwork. #cutpaperartist #papiercolle #coneyislandhystericalsociety #werkgallery #philomenamarano #artsarasota #womencontemporaryartist

The Petticoats Are Painting!
Coming Soon: “Now You See Us” Installation at Sarasota City Hall

Later this Summer, the City’s One Stop Shop building (1575 2nd Street) will welcome “Now You See Us,” a new composite artwork created by members of the Petticoat Painters. The installation celebrates the conclusion of their year‑long Cultural Heritage Exhibit at City Hall and highlights the artists who took part.
The piece brings together twenty‑four original 10x10 canvases, each reflecting the individual style of a participating artist while honoring the collective’s long-standing presence in Sarasota’s arts community. Arranged in a unified grid on the third‑floor wall facing the elevator, the work will offer a bright and engaging moment for everyone passing through this busy civic space.
The installation is expected to debut in early August, adding a fresh expression of Sarasota’s artistic heritage to this active public building. ⭐️The Petticoat Painters are proud to be part of the city of Sarasota’s permanent public art collection! ⭐️

Join Petticoat Painter PHILOMENA MARANO to see her latest werks (works) at The Werk, St. Pete, FL. Opening Reception, July 3, 5-9 PM, Artist Talk on Sunday, July 26, 3 PM
Using the broad chromatic spectrum of Color-aid paper, she treats this cut paper process as a synthesis of drawing, painting and graphic design: the paper is my palette, my x-acto knife is my rendering instrument. The iconic architecture of the rides, signs and attractions as well as other forms of urban and popular culture will be on exhibit.
WERK GALLERY || July 3 - Aug. 2 || 2210 1st Ave S, St. Petersburg, FL.

Petticoat Painter Philomena Marano and Richard Eagan will be on hand for their book launch in both Brooklyn and New York, NY on June 6 and 7. Hysterical Coney Island is an art memoir detailing their work with the "Coney Island Hysterical Society," an artist-activist group founded in 1982. The group sought to preserve the, at the time, decaying amusement area through art, including the iconic “Steeplechase Come Back" mural. More of Philomena’s artwork can be viewed at www.philomenamarano.com and https://petticoatpainters.com/philomena-marano-gallery
