Meet the Artists for Best Seat in the House 2021

< Yolanda Roman's chair Most of my work has been done in Gulfport Florida (primary residence) and Wildwood New Jersey (summer home). My art medium is bright colorful acrylic paints on canvas. What inspires my “FunAcrylics” (https://www.facebook.com/YRomanFunAcrylics/) paintings are things I am passionate about — nature, structures, landmarks, destinations and robust colors. Since my first FunAcrylic piece in 2018, I have created almost 70 paintings to date, with a number of them requested commissions. Specifically throughout Gulfport, you can find my FunAcrylic renditions of the Gulfport Library, the Historic Peninsula Inn, Stella’s and the Gulfport History Museum. A great honor was showcasing my series “Painting the Town with Pride” (series of three paintings) at the 2019 Gulfport ArtOut exhibit (LGBTQ Artist and Allies) at the Gulfport Library. My greatest challenge to date, a fun challenge, was my FunAcrylic painting of the iconic Gulfport Casino on a large wood Adirondack chair (created for a charity auction supporting the Gulfport Multi-Purpose Senior Center Foundation). Today, I enthusiastically continue with my FunAcrylic paintings, hoping to create even more fun pieces of art for many to own and enjoy.
