Community Spotlight – Artist Bringings Color To Siesta Key.

John Morton publisher of Siesta Sand Siesta Key’s #1 Information Source interviews Lloyd Dobson Artist.

Lloyd Dobson Artist artwork captures the area’s breathtaking beauty.

Q: Lloyd Dobson, you are a creative force whose oil paintings are seen all around Siesta Key, the region, and the world. For starters, tell us about your history with our island.

A: In 2013 I moved to the Siesta Key area from Treasure Island to be close to my son and granddaughter. Plus, after seeing the island, I was inspired in knowing that this is where the next level of my art career could flourish.

I began re-numbering my paintings after I moved to the area. The first painting was No. 110113. I just began painting number No. 1108422, which means that painting is the 1,084th one of done in the past nine years.

My travels have taken me all over the Caribbean but the Siesta Key area is my favorite, and inspires me to create memories that vacationers and locals can enjoy.

Q: Your display at the weekly farmers market. Share with us your history and relationship with that event.

A: When I moved to the area, I began looking for an outdoor event where I could showcase my art similar, to the events where I did the same when I lived in southern California. The Siesta Key Farmers Market was a natural. I contacted Bryan Eible, who owns the market, and the following Sunday began.

Since Bryan lives in New Zealand, although he’s a native Siesta Key guy, Bryan asked if I would manage the market.

We are open every Sunday morning from 8 a.m. to noon and have 25 vendors, as well as with live music providing the island vibes.

Part of my success is the free shipping I provide to customers in the U.S.
