Connie is a conservation photographer who has photographed vulnerable environments
around the globe. For the Everglades project, she photographs threatened plants,
animals and scenes, presenting her works as large format prints and silk banners.
Nicholas is working on a series of eleven oil portraits of individuals who have made important contributions to saving the Everglades, from a U.S. Senator to a Native American chief to a
wildlife photographer and philanthropists. Seven completed 4' by 6' portraits are shown in his gallery. An eighth is nearly finished and will be unveiled within a few weeks.

Looks like a very talented and dedicated pair. That photo behind Connie caught my eye. The lighting is wonderful.
I'm impressed by their dedication, Jack!
We have no where near the amount of snow that the east coast is getting. The last week has been sunny but extremely cold here but no snow at all!
They are doing marvelous work and they look to be very talented in their respective creative fields. Nice portraits!
They both make a fabulous work ! Very impressively beautiful and useful !
Great work, I wish them well!
I do SO agree with Malyss! Impressive, beautiful and useful indeed! You do find and share the greatest people/places/things, Jack!! Thank you!!
Love that photo behind Connie. Wow. What a creative couple. I'm kinda envious, it would be good to share projects with someone like-minded.
Their styles really appeal to me!
I thought the portraits were photographs.
Good luck to them and their organization.
Another pair of lovely artists. Great portraits, as always, Jack!
If you hadn't told me I'd have thought the top one was a painting and the portraits were artfully lit photographs. I like the style of both.
A formidable duo doing important work, well done them ..
Kate's comments made me smile :)
