To celebrate Bike Week 2013, Ocean Books & Art will transform itself into a photographic world of motorcycles and nature for March.
Palm Coast’s Ed Siarkowicz will display his newest collection of photographs taken throughout Flagler and Volusia counties.
According to bookstore and gallery owner Frank Gromling, Siarkowicz decided to create the show, “Motorcycle Wildlife,” after their first successful motorcycle-themed show during Biketoberfest 2012.
Included in the show will be a wide range of photographs of motorcycles and scenery that riders encounter on a road trip through Flagler County and surrounding areas.
Throughout the month-long show, different events will be held to attract motorcycle enthusiasts and others to the collection. Already planned is a drawing to win a framed and matted Siarkowicz photograph from the collection. There will also be special prices for books about motorcycle-themed subjects.
There will be an opening reception for the artist 5:30-8:30 p.m. Friday, March 1, at the gallery, 200 S. Oceanshore Blvd., Flagler Beach.
Also opening that night in the Ocean Art Gallery will be Palm Coast stained glass artist Rob Carlton’s “Critter Collection.”
“Although I have been involved with the creation of stained glass art for more than 30 years, it is only since moving to Palm Coast seven years ago that I became intrigued in the making of what I call my ‘Critter Collection,’” he said.
His collection includes a number of species common to the Flagler County seashore, such as dolphins, pelicans, seahorses, sand dollars, alligators and butterflies.
Despite the diversity of his creations, the one group of critters that is his favorite and provides a true sense of satisfaction to him is his frogs, he said.
