During the month of June, Sanibel-Captiva Art League members are exhibiting their artwork at The Community House, at 2173 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel. One piece is “It’s Still Paradise to Us” by Joleen Mercedes Raho. Ron and Hope Hodges commissioned the painting to memorialize the camaraderie and resilient spirit of a group of Sanibel residents who found solace in early 2023 after Hurricane Ian at a pickleball court cleared by the Sundial Beach Resort & Spa. After working on their houses, they would find their way to the court to play, support, vent, listen and network. The public can view the artwork from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday to Friday.
