• Artist Statement

  During my trip to Florida’s Everglades National Park, I was inspired by its abundance of wildlife and the vivid tropical landscape. Countless Great Blue Herons were present throughout the park, often hunting near calm freshwater areas. I sought to capture the lush greenery of the wetland and the strikingly bright eyes of this Great Blue Heron through this photograph. In addition, I hope to raise awareness about conserving the land of South Florida by evoking appreciation of its natural beauty through photography.

• Creative Statement

  To me, creativity is being able to bring a vision to life through art and challenging myself to create artwork outside my comfort zone.
