fragile and threatened ecosystems and threatened wild life of South Florida.

landscape architecture and flower arrangements of the
great South Florida horticulturalists.
There will be a pre-show cocktail party at the Arts Garage in Delray Beach on January 14. Some of the paintings from Phoebe’s Gay Icon series include:
--Lagerfeld

and strengthen the artistic and musical spirit of the children of low-income
communities.”
Legere
Style & Substance
An
uplifting, family-friendly artist, she combines “French haute couture with
low-down Louisiana bayou blues.” The Washington Post writes, ”Legere is an
expressive and versatile singer whose voice ranges from a dark and earthy alto
to a gorgeous dazzling high soprano. She combines intelligent lyrics and a fusion
of French musette, Cajun, pop, rock, folk and jazz into a "roots
alternative" stew.”
Ms.
Legere has released 15 CDs of original and traditional music including her 2014
album GAY. Her song about endangered Florida frogs, Hip Hop Frog, was
sold to HBO in 2015.
She
opened for David Bowie on his National Tour. An American Treasure, this
“multi-keyboard, vocal wizard” has been compared to “Beethoven” (Paper
Magazine) “Edith Piaf” (Stephen Holden, NY Times) and “Frank Zappa. ”
