Twyla Gettert Miami Beach Artist

South Florida Visual Artist Twyla Gettert has been a professional artist for over 20 years. Her work is in over 65 corporate collections and has shown in galleries and museums internationally including the National Museum of Art; Osaka, Japan. Twyla creates in several styles and mediums- painting, monotypes, photography, digital, and includes large- scale original canvasses over 12 feet in length for corporate, hospitality, and healthcare projects. She graduated from the University of Iowa, B.A., and received a grant from the Enrico Donati Foundation in NYC, NY.

Her striking compositions are created using oils, acrylics, India ink, and monotype on paper or canvas, creating large-scale, abstract paintings in a number of approaches. The Rev. Jorge A. Sardiñas Gallery at St. Thomas University will be presenting a solo exhibition of paintings by South Florida artist Twyla Gettert in ‘Where Ocean Meets Sky‘. The exhibition will officially open with a reception at 2:30pm on Thursday, October 6, 2022 at Rev. Jorge A. Sardiñas Gallery, located on the second floor of St. Thomas University’s Main Library, on view through January 16, 2023.

“The distant horizon on the ocean fascinates me,” explains Gettert. “It seems to quiver and create a magical space. Staring at it for any length of time stirs my soul transporting me to that creative space. My creative process is that dreamy horizon in my soul. My mind’s anchor releases. It opens. Free space. No boundaries. No judgement. Loving to experiment with spontaneous brushstroke, line, and color, I am inspired by the Abstract Expressionist artists and Sumi-E Masters. It’s always my intent that what I put on canvas tells a story or evokes a feeling that touches and guides the viewers into their own inner worlds.”
