Chroma Studio – Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

The glowing letters of the studio name, CHROMA, which means purity or intensity of colour, welcomes guests. Aptly named, the gallery/studio is owned by award-winning artist Kathleen Broaderick. Vibrant and bright colours dominate her oversized paintings. Her love of watercolour is evident in the transparent luminosity of her energetic, layered oil paintings. Broaderick deftly captures the essence of her subjects with bold use of clean colour and light created with loose brushstrokes resulting in fresh, relatable pieces.She has announced a new series of paintings that will focus on our beautiful beaches and unique coastal dune lakes–an art show is planned later in 2018.“CHROMA is a boutique working studio, where I paint almost every day, teach in-studio acrylic paint classes and oil painting workshops as well as a gallery where I show my work,” Kathleen explains.A native of the Sunshine State, Kathleen Broaderick was born and raised in Hollywood, Florida, and currently resides in Miramar Beach. Her artistic journey began serendipitously during her last semester at Florida State University when she fi an open slot in her schedule with a watercolour class. After raising two children and teaching elementary school, she turned her longtime passion into a career.On occasion, Broaderick shares tips and techniques during acrylic ‘paint and sip’-style single-session classes and two- day intensive oil painting workshops in her studio.The artist’s attitude is certainly contagious. “I find joy in art. Visitors to the gallery are all smiles as they view the gallery. Art students find joy in finding their creativity and creating their own artwork. I can’t think of a better gift to give someone.”Opening times vary. Private showings are available by appointment.
