Today, The Windsor Charitable Foundation is pleased to announce that The Gallery at Windsor has raised $7,000 in donations made by visitors to this year’s exhibition by leading British painters Sir Christopher Le Brun and Charlotte Verity.

Titled Left Hand, Right Hand, the expansive exhibition was on display in The Gallery from January 25 through April 25, 2025. The exhibition, Le Brun’s first-ever major collaboration with Verity, brought together a selection of recent paintings by both artists, which explore the theme of contrast and harmony. Since meeting in 1974 at the Slade School of Fine Art, London, and marrying in 1979, the artists’ long-shared experiences have fostered a rich dialogue that is reflected in their individual painting styles.

The Gallery at Windsor is open to the public by appointment. While there is no admission to enter, exhibition visitors may support the Windsor Charitable Foundation with a suggested donation of $15. Each year, the donations collected are designated to support local arts education. This year’s recipient is the Laura (Riding) Jackson Foundation (LRJF), a local literary nonprofit offering writers’ workshops for all ages, poetry festivals, and youth summer camps.

The LRJF has a long history with Windsor, holding poetry gatherings as far back as in 1996 when the Foundation held a “Poetry & Polo” themed event. In recent years, joint programming has included “Poetry & Piano,” which connected poetry with music, and “Art Poetica,” a reading from the Foundation’s recently published book of the same title featuring ekphrastic poetry, a literary form where a poem is written in response to or about a visual work of art, such as a painting, sculpture, or photograph.

“We are incredibly proud to see Windsor’s artistic and philanthropic values come together through this year’s exhibition,” said Betsy Hanley, CEO and President of Torwest, Inc. and President of Windsor Real Estate, Inc. “Christopher Le Brun and Charlotte Verity brought such depth and dialogue to our gallery space, and it’s even more meaningful knowing the exhibition will directly support creative opportunities for local students.”

As part of this special collaboration, students ranging in age from 7 to 17 participated in an Ekphrastic Poetry workshop in the Gallery. Led by the LRJF’s teachers, the students crafted original poems inspired by the exhibition works. On April 16, students and their family members attended The Gallery’s Finissage, a celebration at the closing of the exhibition, where they recited their poems in front of more than 65 guests. The LRJF Board was also on hand for the official check presentation.

“We are thankful for this generous donation which allows us to reach more young writers in our community,” said Sara Wilson, Executive Director of the Laura (Riding) Jackson Foundation. “The students’ response to the exhibition was moving—transforming their impressions into poetry gave them a powerful new way to find their voice.”

The Gallery at Windsor will announce the 2026 exhibition over the summer. For more information about The Gallery, visit windsorflorida.com/gallery.

The event was attended by Windsor residents and guests. During the celebration, the artists were warmly welcomed to the stage by Galen Weston, and they enjoyed an in-conversation about their work moderated by exhibition curator Robin Vousden. This conversation was followed by a celebratory dinner on Windsor’s Beach Club veranda, hosted by Mrs Weston, who remarked:

“My deepest gratitude goes to Christopher and Charlotte for embracing our invitation to exhibit together. This unique show is full of personal observation, profound connection, and aesthetic discovery,” said Mrs. Weston.

An expansive exhibition of recent work, Left Hand, Right Hand provides a unique opportunity to see these two major British painters showing side by side. The artists met at the Slade School of Fine Art, London, in the 1970s. Since then, they have developed a rich artistic dialogue arising from years of shared experience. As partners and fellow artists, they have led an extraordinary life together and enjoyed exceptional careers.

Presented in collaboration with Albertz Benda NY, Left Hand, Right Hand features some of the artists’ largest-scale paintings to date, highlighting for the very first time their closely connected yet contrasting careers, characterised by a continuing spirit of invention and renewal.

The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue, featuring a profoundly astute text on the artists’ work by Robin Vousden, and lyrical and personal essays about each artist by Edmund de Waal, first published in 2014 and 2016 by Ridinghouse, London.

Left Hand, Right Hand also marks a return to Windsor for Christopher Le Brun, former President of the Royal Academy of Arts, who held a solo exhibition at The Gallery at Windsor, February–May 2017. He subsequently instigated a three-year curatorial partnership between the Royal Academy of Arts and The Gallery at Windsor from 2019 to 2020, the programme was co-curated by Tim Marlow OBE, then Artistic Director of the Royal Academy of Arts, and Mrs Weston.

Windsor, the 472-acre private sporting and residential community on the barrier island of Vero Beach along Florida’s Treasure Coast, today announced that its 18-hole championship golf course designed by legendary golf course architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr. has been certified an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, joining an elite group of the world’s most sustainable golf clubs. The designation follows a comprehensive evaluation of Windsor’s environmental standards for the golf course and reflects the Club’s dedication to enhancing the area’s natural surroundings and strengthening the local wildlife habitat. The course is now one of about 900 courses in the world to hold this certification.

The Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program, developed by Audubon International, guides golf courses in protecting the environment and preserving golf’s natural heritage. The path to certification includes a review of environmental planning, wildlife and habitat management, outreach and education, chemical use reduction, water conservation, and water quality management. The Club’s accomplishments include expanding native vegetation, removing invasive plant species, providing quality water habitat, and conducting water quality testing.

“We are honored to receive recognition as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary,” said Betsy Hanley, CEO and President of Torwest, Inc., and President of Windsor Real Estate, Inc. “This certification directly aligns with Windsor’s mission to incorporate innovative sustainable practices into our residential community, and we look forward to launching new programming initiatives in line with Audubon International.”

“Windsor Florida has shown a strong commitment to its environmental program. They are to be commended for their efforts to provide a sanctuary for wildlife on the golf course property,” said Christine Kane, CEO at Audubon International.

Leading sustainability efforts at the golf course is Windsor’s newly appointed Director of Agronomy, Jared Nemitz. Coming to Windsor from The Ford Field & River Club, Nemitz brings a wealth of experience and a passion for excellence in golf course management. He holds a B.S. and M.S. in Agronomy from Purdue University, and has 25 years of experience at premier courses including St. Andrews Links, the Honors Course, and Chevy Chase Club.

Nemitz has led certification efforts with the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary for Golf designation at several courses, was recognized by the USGA Green Section for putting green management and served as an annual presenter at industry education conferences including the American Society of Agronomy, Georgia Environmental Conference, USGA Regional meetings, GCSAA Golf Industry Show and other state association meetings.

“We are thrilled to welcome Jared Nemitz to our team at Windsor,” said Ryan Skipton, Windsor’s Director of Golf. “With his extensive background and dedication to maintaining top-tier playing conditions, we are confident that he will make significant contributions to the already outstanding golf program at Windsor.”

Windsor’s 18-hole golf course designed by legendary golf course architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr. initially opened in 1991. In 2019, Jones Jr. returned with his team to carry out an extensive renovation of the 120-acre course that recaptured the original design intent and updated golf holes in concert with today’s game. To reduce the golf club’s carbon footprint, the renovation introduced various environmentally conscious features including a more drought-tolerant variety of Bermuda grass, a reduction in the areas needing mowing, and the installation of a new state-of-the-art irrigation system. The Windsor course allows all members to play at their own pace, as golfers enjoy a no-tee time policy.

The storied seaside community of Windsor is also known for its enviable real estate. The Club recently launched its final phase of development, the North Village, which will marry Windsor’s beloved Anglo-Caribbean aesthetic with a heightened commitment to sustainability. Stretching 47 acres alongside the Indian River Lagoon, the North Village offers 34 homesites and six row houses and features 26.5 acres of natural area and 9.7 acres of lake and estuary.

The Gallery at Windsor is pleased to present Left Hand, Right Hand, an expansive exhibition of recent works by Sir Christopher Le Brun and Charlotte Verity, which will be on view from January 27 to April 25, 2025. Curated by Robin Vousden, the exhibition will provide a rare opportunity to see these two major British painters side by side, as they exhibit together for the first time in the USA.

Since meeting in 1974 at the Slade School of Fine Art, London, and marrying in 1979, Le Brun and Verity have developed a rich artistic dialogue arising from years of shared experience, yet which is expressed by distinct painterly sensibilities. Le Brun’s work is led by his imagination, revealing a commitment to the essential pleasure of painting for its own sake, its processes and physicality. He is a master of colour and touch. By contrast, Verity’s lucid compositions, born from hours of close observation and intense looking, distil a precise yet capacious vision of the world.

Both artists manifest an exceptional sensitivity to the natural world and its temporal rhythms. In this group of new canvases, Le Brun evokes the changing seasons through subtle shifts in colour and light over time, demonstrated in works such as Small Seasons, Summer (2023) and Phases of the Moon IV (2024). Particularly evident in these paintings is the tension between revealing and covering, a central feature of his work that unites all its phases, both abstract and figurative. Verity’s images of plants and flowers are exactly rendered without fixing their subjects, their observational rigour balanced by delicacy and a sense of openness. Symbolic rather than botanical, paintings such as Glance (2021) or Anemones (2021) preserve an acute sense of the fleeting and fragile. Verity’s watercolour monotypes, similarly, are lyrical but restrained, expressing a deep knowledge of the natural forms she depicts.

Left Hand, Right Hand will feature some of the artists’ largest-scale paintings to date, highlighting for the very first time Le Brun’s and Verity’s closely connected yet contrasting careers, both characterised by a continuing spirit of invention and renewal.

The Hon. Hilary M. Weston, co-founder of Windsor and Creative Director of The Gallery at Windsor, said: “We look forward to seeing Charlotte and Christopher’s work on display together at Windsor. Curated by the artists’ friend Robin Vousden, this unique show promises to be full of personal observation, profound connection and aesthetic ingenuity.” 

 Left Hand, Right Hand will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue featuring a new text on the artists’ work by Robin Vousden. The book will also re-issue lyrical and personal essays about each artist written by Edmund de Waal, first published in 2014 and 2016 by Ridinghouse, London.

Today, Windsor, the 472-acre private sporting and residential community on the verdant oceanfront barrier island of Vero Beach along Florida’s Treasure Coast, has officially announced that homesites in its final phase of development, the North Village, have reached sixty percent sellout in just a few short months after launching. With an emphasis on privacy and an ultra-luxury lifestyle, as well as a strong commitment to sustainability, the North Village is meeting today’s market demands for exclusive experiences and a strong sense of community, while prioritizing its low ecological footprint and celebrating nature with scenic trails and landscaping that respect the surrounding island’s unique climate and native flora and fauna.

What began in the early 1990s as a passion project by the esteemed Canadian family of W. Galen and Hilary M. Weston, Windsor is a legacy endeavor that balances privacy and community. The North Village represents a seamless expansion of this beloved seaside enclave, designed with a focus on sustainable living inspired by past success and future possibilities. The development features 34 homesites and six Row Houses within a 47-acre master plan, in which more than 26.5 acres are devoted to parks, greens and islands, and nearly 9.7 acres are water, with a freshwater lake to the east and an estuary to the west.

“The North Village has resonated with buyers looking for a quiet coastal experience who also prioritize and practice an environmentally friendly lifestyle in their everyday lives,” said Betsy Hanley, CEO and President of Torwest, Inc., and President of Windsor Real Estate, Inc. “We’ve created a new standard for sustainable luxury living with some of the most innovative and trusted designers in the world, and we’re thrilled by the strong sales success we’ve seen thus far.”

Initially designed by renowned town planners Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk of DPZ CoDesign in the New Urbanism style of residential living, Windsor has once again tapped the firm to extend its master plan to the North Village and further build on the design with guiding principles such as sustainability, walkability, healthy living, and community values. Continuing the community’s thoughtfully crafted aesthetic while introducing an even greater commitment to bettering the environment, this final phase will offer a slightly more modern architectural aesthetic and a native landscape design suitable to the area’s particular climate.

The landscaping plan is a key component of upholding the North Village’s environmentally conscious mission. An expert design team – including Dept., a Houston-based landscape architecture and urban design firm; Edwina von Gal, the esteemed Hampton-based landscape designer; Beth Dowdle, an accomplished land conservation and planning expert; and Farr Associates, a pioneering, sustainability-driven architecture and urban design firm – has been assembled to create guidelines and standards to best preserve the grounds. Drawing inspiration from the nearby Indian River Lagoon’s rich ecology, the team will incorporate native plants and various water features to create a curated experience for residents.

Residents of the North Village will enjoy privacy and seclusion combined with the finest amenities, services, and activities. An active and wellness-full living experience in the North Village consists of world-class amenities such as a 12,620-square-foot Fitness and Wellness Centre equipped with spa treatment rooms, relaxation spaces and a juice bar; landscaped greenspaces including a park, firepits and scenic trails for walking, biking, or horseback riding; an observation lookout deck; a kayak launch with equipment storage and direct lagoon access; and much more.

Life at Windsor and in its new North Village is endlessly interesting and enriching for Members with spaces for socializing at the Clubhouse overlooking the golf course and at the oceanfront Beach Club. The Town Hall, Exedra and Village Centre Pergola host cultural performances and Members’ private events. Additionally, Windsor’s original polo fields and 18-hole championship golf course are iconic features of the property. The Gallery at Windsor is home to important works of art from the George Weston Collection and is host to museum-caliber exhibitions of contemporary art each season.

Homesites in the North Village currently start at $1.2 million. The Row Houses are anticipated to launch sales in the first quarter of 2025. For more information on the North Village, please call (772) 388-8400 or visit www.windsorflorida.com/the-north-village/.

The Gallery at Windsor hosted an exclusive weekend to celebrate the opening of A Piece of Waterfall in the Sound of Crickets, an expansive solo exhibition by the leading Costa Rican artist, Federico Herrero. The exhibition, which will run until April 26th, brings together a selection of recent paintings and monotypes by Federico Herrero, who for over twenty years has produced a vast body of works on canvas, paper, walls, and streets, including many site-specific commissions and architectural interventions.

The exhibition, curated by Elena Ketelsen González, assistant curator at MoMA PS1, is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalog published by DelMonico Books, including a foreword by The Hon. Hilary M. Weston, an essay by Ketelsen González, and an interview with artist and Bernardo Mosqueira, chief curator at the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art.

A Piece of Waterfall in the Sound of Crickets takes its name from a poem by celebrated Costa Rican poet Alfonso Chase (b. 1944), in which he reflects upon the mundane beauty of the sights and sounds of the country that has long inspired his poetry, despite frequent trips to New York City and Europe.

Like Chase, Herrero’s practice often looks beyond his surroundings but remains deeply situated in the lush urban setting of San José, Costa Rica, where he creates geometric abstractions that breathe outwards into the open structures of a city in flux or what Herrero calls “incomplete,” and beyond into the highly ordered cities of the North. From this context emerge works that achieve harmonic resolution while recalling the colors and contours of a city constantly transformed by tropical growth and decay.

“I am delighted to welcome Federico Herrero to exhibit at The Gallery at Windsor,” said The Hon. Hilary M. Weston, Windsor Cofounder and Creative Director of The Gallery at Windsor. “This exciting show follows our long-standing curatorial focus at The Gallery, which has presented a diverse roster of some of the world’s leading contemporary artists for more than two decades. We are thrilled to add Federico to that list.”

The Gallery at Windsor is open to the public by appointment. While there is no admission to visit the Gallery at Windsor, exhibition visitors may support The Windsor Charitable Foundation with a suggested donation of $15. This gift is tax-deductible and is designated to support arts education.

About Federico Herrero

Federico Herrero’s intensely visual language is rooted in his observations of everyday life in Costa Rica’s ever evolving landscape, especially the way nature and culture collide. In his paintings on canvas, immersive installations, and public works, brightly hued organic shapes jostle against each other as they inhabit and negotiate space. There are dissonances and harmonies, which threaten to momentarily unravel but are bound together with an energy that seems to operate on a nearly atomic scale. They creep along the edges, and often break free of the frame entirely, winding onto the walls and into the crevices of his installations’ spaces.

Color for Herrero is an expression of space, both the absence of space and the abundance of space and the relationship between them. His canvases and installations therefore become exercises in seeing that compel the viewer to experience their environment in novel ways. Of his varied practice Herrero states, “When painting on a canvas, you know there is no transgression; it acquires a rhythm of production that is related to yourself…One deals with a personal universe, the other deals with a social vocation.” Through this duality, Herrero’s practice is essentially a study of liminal spaces – gaps between public and private, canvas and wall, figure and background, work and viewer – always infused with elements of play, pleasure, and humor.

Federico Herrero (b. 1978, San Jose, Costa Rica) was the recipient of the Young Artist’s Prize at the 49th Venice Biennale (2001). He has exhibited extensively in museums worldwide. Recent exhibitions include Tactiles, Kunsthalle Lissabon, Lisbon, Portugal (2022); Barreras Blandas, Museo Nacional de Costa Rica, San Jose, Costa Rica (2020); Tempo aberto, Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Niterói, São Paulo (2019); Open Envelope, Witte de With, Rotterdam, the Netherlands (2018); and Alphabet, a site-specific installation for the atrium of the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (2018). Herrero is also the founder of Despacio and Cero Uno, two contemporary art spaces in his native San Jose, which have served as important forces in the continued development of Central America’s artistic voice. He lives and works in San Jose, Costa Rica.

About Windsor

Established in 1989, Windsor is a private residential sporting club community spanning 472 acres of lush barrier island between the Indian River and the Atlantic Ocean in Vero Beach, Florida. In the early 1990s, W. Galen Weston and the Hon. Hilary M. Weston of Toronto, Canada visited South Florida in search of a winter home for themselves and their children. In Vero Beach, they became enchanted by a property that over the next decades would become a cherished home, a passion project, and ultimately a critically acclaimed residential community. Windsor was designed by renowned town planners Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk in the New Urbanism style of residential living. It offers public and community spaces framed by timeless architecture and landscape design that celebrates its tropical and unspoiled setting. Windsor is comprised of 350 homesites in various styles, including village homes, cottages, and country estates, all remarkable for their signature Anglo-Caribbean architecture and gracious living. Residents enjoy privacy and seclusion combined with the finest amenities, exemplary services and sporting activities. Windsor is embarking on its final development phase with the launch of the North Village, a 47-acre neighborhood featuring 40 residences, new and enhanced amenities and a heightened commitment to sustainability. windsorflorida.com
