Recently, on an attendance-killing stormy evening in Miami Beach, at pristine Miami Beach Botanical Gardens, Divine Debris and Glorious Trash, an exhibition of artwork in various media created by 15 local artists, from recycled and found objects, drew more than 250 umbrella-toting guests for its June 9 opening reception. The exhibit was a collaboration, co-curated by Dr. Carol Hoffman-Guzman, founding director of Arts at St. Johns (ASJ) and Paula Turk, artist and founding director of ArtShare LLC.
“An ideal partnership," is how Turk described working with ASJ's Hoffman, who she sees as “a very hard working and talented lady” and someone she definitely wants to work with again. No slacker throughout her life, Hoffman has a Ph.D in anthropology from Columbia, a Ph.D in sociology from FIU and is an ordained Methodist minister.
