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.
