Historic Florida Artist at Maitland Art Center
Impressionist painter William Vincent Kirkpatrick once studied at the
Maitland Art Center, and this month that historic Florida Artist will be
honored at the Center with an exhibition which opens on Friday, July
16th.  Kirkpatrick was born in St. Augustine in 1939. Growing up in a
home filled with culture, (his mother was a painter) young William took
guitar lessons, but his life changed at age ten when he won an art
contest. William went on to study at the Maitland Art Center in 1950,

My brother, Eric Rosen, has been surfing since he was a kid growing up in South Florida. Living in New York for the past 13 years has not stopped him from doing what he loves. He once called me on his cell phone on a freezing cold New Year’s Day, walking through the streets of Manhattan with his surfboard, wearing a wet suit and breaking icicles off his hair.
