WildChild Art Gallery in Matlacha, Lee County, United States | Art Gallery

Established in 2000, WildChild Gallery is a Contemporary Art Gallery representing the works of owner Peggy McTeague and over 120 Florida Artists. The Gallery building is a Historic fishing cottage located in the heart
of Matlacha ( pronounced Matt-la-shay), a Caloosa word meaning "water to the chin", in Florida, United States.
The vision of WildChild Art Gallery was to have a place where people could come enjoy a unique experience of art in all its forms. To be able to learn about and purchase art created by local, national and international artists. Normally there is a gap between artist and art buyer. Our hope is to bring the two together. We are always looking for creative souls and artists to participate in this mixture somewhere between co-op and the normal gallery and for new marketing opportunities to bring in art buyers and Collectors.
As with many of the things we do here at WildChild Gallery in Matlacha, Florida, we start down a winding path that sometimes turns mid-stride into a two lane road never knowing where it will lead us, but that is half the fun. So if you haven't come out to enjoy the little town of Matlacha, Florida, yet, it's only a little off the beaten path. Come experience our little piece of joy.
WildChild Art Gallery features the designs, sculptures and fountains in copper,
brass and steel by artist/owner Peggy McTeague.
In addition to Peggy's metalwork, the gallery also shows works in metal by Dan Swail, Ann Laird, John Smith, Angel R Ledesma, Terry Thurman, Scott Lampittas well as beautiful works in Bronze by Martha Sulfridge.
In further exploring the gallery's wide variety of artwork, you will find Wood Carvings by Ted Appel, who specialize in birds of the wild and Jan Bailey, whose carved local fish will delight you. Woodturnings of beautiful bowls, vases and ornaments by Jamie Rouch and George Mosko grace the gallery. And Wooden boxes of all shapes and sizes created by Jay Benton are made from exotic woods from around the world.
WildChild Art Gallery represents the hand thrown pottery of artists Suly Pritchard and Kate and Ed Coleman and Chuck Koucky. To enchant you further be sure to see the whimsical clay creatures by the late artist Jim Lawson.
