The recent hurricanes have impacted our Mermaid Tail Trail, leaving some of our beloved mermaids temporarily displaced. Unfortunately, a few of our shimmering friends are currently unavailable for viewing. However, our team is working diligently to restore and reinstall the displaced mermaids. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Please check back with us for updates on when these magnificent mermaids will return to their posts along the trail.

The Rebel

A rebel mermaid, she has fiery red hair and old-school sailor jerry tattoos. She is inspired by the artist’s father, a former tattoo artist.

About the Artist:

Autum Proctor

Autum Proctor was born Lawrence, Massachusetts, but spent her formative years in Spring Hill, Florida. A second-generation artist, the daughter of a tattoo artist, she has been a painting instructor for college students and amateur artists from childhood to twilight years; teaching for almost a decade.

Autum is the owner and sole proprietor of Traveling Art Parties, a company serving the greater Tampa area, as well as a Bob Ross Certified Instructor.

She says, “There is nothing that drives me more than a student who is certain they ‘can’t paint’ and then seeing the look on their face after a two-hour session (where) they’ve produced a landscape or portrait of their pet that they never dreamed could come from their own hand. There is no challenge I won’t tackle, and I am constantly working to be able to interpret a client’s desire through my own prism and produce a work that they enjoy.”
