Shillingburg selected as 21st annual Seaside Fiesta poster artist
Judy Shillingburg’s watercolor, “Seaside Fiesta,” was selected for the 21st annual Flagler Avenue Seaside Fiesta poster and T-shirt.
Shillingburg, a well-known Florida artist calls Destin, “The Emerald Coast”, home. With an attention to detail and an eye for color, this prolific watercolor artist has established an easily recognizable style. Her unique works can be seen locally at Anthony Bell Creations, 320 Flagler Ave, New Smyrna Beach.
Shillingburg stopped in to see Bell on her way home from the Miami Boat Show in February, where she was named ROFFSTM (Roffer’s Ocean Fishing Forecasting Service, Inc.) 2009-2010 “Artist of the Year.” She was delighted that Bell asked her to create the image for the Seaside Fiesta poster.
“We have a festival here in Destin,” Shillingburg said, ” that is always filled with music, kids and lots of fun, so that was my inspiration in creating the Seaside Fiesta poster.”
Her colorful, lively and whimsical watercolor image is perfect for Flagler Avenue, a charming, quaint and fun place to visit.
Shillingburg’s creation features a bright red shrimp wielding a paintbrush, a keyboard playing crab, drum playing lobster, starfish, and three seahorses, one holding a violin with its tail.
Emerald green waters, magenta and apricot sunsets, the myriad creatures of the sea, the roar of the surf, a trophy sport fish at the end of a reel - these are the visual images that Shillingburg has been painting since 1994.
Over the years Shillingburg has won more than 40 local, regional, and statewide awards for her work. Shillingburg’s artwork has been selected several times for the annual Destin Seafood Festival official poster, the Destin Mayfest posters, Navarre Fun Fest posters, as well as 1998-2008 South Walton Visitor’s maps, 1998-2008 Destin/Ft. Walton Beach Visitor’s maps, and many others.
Shillingburg’s artwork is colorful and entertaining and is sure to bring a smile and a happy seaside memory.
Shillingburg is self-published with more than 500 limited edition giclée prints available. For more information about Mrs. Shillingburg’s artwork, visit her Web site at www.JudyShillingburg.com.
Seaside Fiesta T-shirts and posters designed by Shillingburg can be purchased in advance at Ta Da Gallery, 113 Flagler; Gone Bonkers (314 Flagler); and The Wicker Basket Boutique (401 Flagler).
Seaside Fiesta will be held from 5-9 p.m. Thursday, June 18 on Flagler Ave., New Smyrna Beach, with the street closing to cars at 3 p.m. The family-orientated block party will feature entertainment, food, games, and crafts. Most of the street’s businesses will remain open and there will be added food and craft vendors along the street.

This hilarious play by the author of Tuesdays with Morrie is about Tyler Johnes, a self-obsessed Hollywood movie star, who is finally nominated for an Oscar but dies the night before the awards. Outraged at his bad luck and determined to know if he wins (even though he’s dead), he bargains with the heavenly gatekeeper, Seamus, an old Irishman, to return to earth for the big night. Along the way, he drags his agent, his acting rival, his bombshell girlfriend and his ex-wife into the journey, in a wildly entertaining tale of Hollywood, the afterlife, and how we are judged.
The cast includes David Lowe as Tyler Johnes, Don Campbell as Seamus, with Liz Davis as Tyler’s agent (Teddy LaPetite). Valerie Orzel plays Sheri, Tyler’s ex-wife, and Sara de La Hoz is Serenity, the Hollywood bombshell, with Aaron Collins as Tyler’s co-star and rival.
