It is the story of women’s page journalists, women’s club members and local political leaders. While these women largely worked behind the scenes, they made a significant impact.

Neverne Covington: Into the Mystic
On View: July 11 – September 23
Opening Reception: July 11th, 5pm to 8pm
Continuing a tradition at the Morean, we are proud to present last year’s Margaret Murphy Steward Best of Show winner,&nbsp;Neverne Covington. In addition to a cash prize, the winning artist receives a solo show in our gallery to coincide with the following year’s members show. Neverne is the 14th artist to receive this opportunity.
About Neverne:
Neverne Covington’s drawings, prints, paintings and sculpture explore childhood, language, landscape, memory, and the gothic south. Her work has been exhibited at the Tampa Museum of Art, the Brevard Museum of Art, the State Capital, the Florida Museum for Women Artists in Deland, Florida and various venues throughout Florida, Georgia and Alabama.
​​She recently returned from an artist residency at the VCCA Moulin a Nef in Auvillar, France. Covington was born in Laurelton, New York, grew up in Florida, and attended City &amp; Guilds College in London, England. She graduated from Eckerd College and has maintained her studio in downtown Saint Petersburg for three decades.
Artist Statement:
I use oil paint, oil sticks and wax on canvas to create my work. I start with small intimate studies and expand to larger works, often executing several paintings at the same time. I look for the dialogue as my paintings speak to one another. Using progressive layers and glazes, some transparent, some thick and opaque, each brushstroke or mark becomes the topography of the surface. Each layer informs the next.
Direct observation and immersion in the natural world, informs my work and determines its themes: permanence, impermanence, and transience. My paintings discover the tangible and intangible forces that form matter from which our being and our very nature emerge.
Rhythm, pattern, and repetition dictate my process and the direction each work will take. The viscosity and consistency of the mediums enhance the work as I smear, drag, rub to create volume and form. The oil sticks, paint, and wax, combined with the shimmering transparent glazes, produce depth. The history of painting, and my study of it, informs each mark I make.
Painting makes me pay attention. It entices me into the mystery of nature and the landscape of memory.&nbsp;It is a way of bringing order to the world I know and to the preconscious world of which I know so little. I am fascinated with what came before us, with humankind’s relationship to our living, breathing world. In my work I strive to reveal nature’s known, unknown and unknowable entities. It is my humble hope that audience will respond to these resonances.

JOYLAND: Benaiah Cusack
On view: July 3 – August 8
Meet the artist/reception: July 11, 5pm to 8pm
Joyland is a state of mind guided by wonder and curiosity through the creative process of art making. Inspired by imaginary coastal spaces, ocean light, rhythmic movement, tropical color, the energy of street art, and a hint of the cosmic, this body of work explores environments that feel both vibrant and introspective. Layered surfaces, fluid forms, and bold color interactions create an atmosphere that moves between dreamscape and memory—places that do not exist, yet feel familiar. The work balances playfulness with reflection, inviting moments of connection, engagement, and emotional escape.
Through Joyland, viewers are invited into a vivid world where imagination, energy and emotion converge—a space that rekindles wonder and joy.
Benaiah Cusack is an abstract landscape and mixed-media painter working in acrylic, ink, graphite, and collage. His practice explores color, gesture, and layered composition, shifting between structure and spontaneity to build surfaces shaped through an intuitive process. Based in St. Petersburg, Florida, his work draws from coastal environments, street art and mural culture, atmospheric light, and rhythmic movement, translating fragments of observation into painted works. Through processes of building, obscuring, and reworking, he develops imagery defined by form, flow, and visual rhythm.
Rather than depicting specific locations, Cusack’s paintings move between imagined terrain, instinct, and sensory experience, inviting viewers into immersive spaces shaped by color, radiance, and abstraction.

On view at the Chihuly Collection: July 25 – November 29
Each year at the Chihuly Collection, we highlight the work of artists who create and/or teach at the Morean Glass Studio. The purpose of this exhibition series is to demonstrate that extraordinary glass art is made not only in the Pacific Northwest (where Dale Chihuly is from) but also right here in our backyard.&nbsp; This year’s featured Morean Glass Studio artists, like Chihuly, are inspired by the rhythms and intricacies of the natural world to create meditative work that invites the viewer to pause and reflect.
Originally from Illinois, Matthew Szidik is a demo artist, narrator and instructor at the Morean Glass Studio. He teaches summer camp and intermediate courses as well as flameworking workshops. He holds a BFA from Southern Illinois University. Matthew says his work “transports people out of their everyday routine and into a place of meditation by reigniting their imagination.”
Kimberly Fahey joined the Morean Glass studio a year ago from New Jersey and currently serves as the introductory glassblowing instructor and assistant demonstration artist. She holds a BFA in Photography with a minor in Glass from Jacksonville University. Inspired by sacred geometry and mandalas, her work combines glass and painting to explore meditation, movement and material connection.
Hailing from Massachusetts, Kailey Carleton is a beginning glassblowing instructor and demonstration artist in the Morean Glass Studio. She holds a BFA in Glass from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston. About her work, Kailey states, “it explores the relationship between organic growth, memory and transformation…I am drawn to the stillness found in small, often-overlooked moments in nature and seek to evoke that quiet sense of presence within my work.”
