Bealls Department Store has partnered with Matlacha artist Leoma Lovegrove on an exclusive collection of tees featuring Lovegrove's colorful Florida motifs. Now the artist is visiting local Bealls outlets to autograph and paint T-shirts live.

"I'd love nothing more than for you to come on out to say hi and see this vibrant collection for yourself. I'll be autographing and painting T-shirts live!"
While at Bealls you can also get a fun Leoma-tized snapshot taken behind her trademark glasses. The store is located at 13585 Tamiami Trail North, Naples, FL 34110.

"We are thrilled to partner with Leoma in an exclusive collection. Ms. Lovegrove's striking depictions of our Florida lifestyle make her collection a perfect addition to our Women's Department."
Available in tees, Lovegrove's hand-painted renditions of Florida life include sea life, birds and Florida landscapes bursting with tropical color, vibrant tones and brilliant hues.
