Local artists in Southwest Florida shape how a place feels long before their work ever enters a home. Their creativity reflects life here. It moves slowly, stays grounded, and grows out of everyday moments.

Across Cape Coral, Sanibel, Fort Myers, and Naples, artists tend to work with what surrounds them. Because of that, you often see water, light, and changing weather echoed in their work. Over time, those details begin to matter more than anything flashy.

That kind of art stays with you.

Local Artists We’re Drawn To

You do not need to own a piece yet to recognize when art belongs in a space.

Sometimes, it is enough to notice what keeps pulling you back. For example, certain work holds quiet instead of demanding attention. It also tends to live well alongside soft light and slow mornings.

These are a few local artists whose work we admire and hope to one day include at South Del Prado Point.

Hilary Frambes

Hilary’s work is layered and intuitive. Work you do not rush past. It reveals itself slowly, which feels right for a home meant to be lived in rather than styled.

Janet Sames

2 D Featured Artist

Janet’s work feels rooted in place. Her use of color and movement is grounded and steady, art that belongs in real rooms where life actually happens.

Erik Schlake

Erik’s work brings creativity into everyday spaces. His murals make places feel more human and more connected, which is exactly the kind of energy we value here.

JoAnn LaPadula

JoAnn’s work reflects the quieter side of coastal life. Observant, calm, and thoughtful. It invites you to slow down and really look.

Why Local Art Matters Here

Local artists in Southwest Florida create work that feels connected to where it comes from. Their perspective is shaped by coastal light, changing tides, and time spent paying attention.

That approach aligns closely with how we built South Del Prado Point. Nothing rushed. Nothing disposable. Just choices made with care.

If you have read our reflections on being a good guest, you will recognize the same values here. Respect for place. Attention to detail. A sense of ease that carries forward.

Looking Ahead

We did not rush the choices that shaped this home, and we will not rush the art either.

When the time is right, we want the pieces here to feel the same way the home does. Local. Unrushed. Meant to stay awhile.

For now, paying attention feels like the right place to start.
