CLEARWATER, Fla. — A superhero team-up of groundbreaking artists — glass sculptor Marlene Rose and "open impressionist" painter Erin Hanson — is duetting in a free gallery show in downtown Clearwater.
The show, which runs until Aug. 1, features vibrant, meditative works from both of the world-renowned talents, all on display at the Marlene Rose Gallery (416 Cleveland St, Clearwater).
"I met Marlene at an art show and it was like finding my kindred spirit," says Erin Hanson, who created her own unique style of capturing epic landscapes.
"Open Impressionism" is an oil painting where the brush strokes are presented side by side.
Marlene Rose is just as inventive, her sculpting based on an ancient metal-casting technique.
"Like Erin said, there's my sister, there's my kindred spirit," adds Marlene.
As well as being coveted artists, both women have proved successful running the business side of art.

'Cruise lights' on Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office patrol cars raise questions, confusion among drivers
Every driver knows that when you see red and blue flashing lights on a patrol car, you slow down, pull over, or get out of the way.
But in Hillsborough County, drivers will also now see deputies with their lights on, but not flashing. They're called "cruise lights," and the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) recently implemented their use on all patrol vehicles.
