Founded in the early 1960’s by a small group of hobby enthusiasts, Saint James City Civic Association started as a “Hobby Club”. As the club gained more and more members, they realized they needed a central meeting place. Through fundraisers and generous donations, the ladies of the club negotiated the purchase of land in Saint James City, Florida. The seller of the property graciously donated one-half of the proceeds from the sale back to the organization to support the club’s vision, and The Saint James City Civic Association was born!

As the old saying goes, art is in the eye of the beholder. I invite you to take a minute to explore the twinkle in mine. Since I can remember I have been enchanted with color and sound. The way natural colors merge into the landscape shared with the sweet whispers of life. The kaleidoscope of colors in a sunset, ever changing, inspiring a rush of emotions that electrifies my soul. Through my art I hope to pass these feeling unto you. Each painting I create is an attempt to capture a brief moment in time. Each windchime celebrates life with its own unique sound. I imagine every JohnyMan as a sentinel, steadily, quietly witnessing life and hopefully adding a smile onto one’s face. On the following pages I bare my soul, do as you may with it. John Betts
