A New Vision

By Si​lvia Arias
Acrylic on Canvas
​​
36” x 36”
Price: $5,500​
 
During a challenging chapter in my life, I turned inward, embracing meditation and silence to embark on a journey of self-discovery. By journaling my dreams and insights, I created an artist sketchbook that became a source of inspiration. This process shifted my perspective, leading to a transformative vision. The painting presented here is a product of those moments of quiet reflection, where I asked questions, listened deeply, connected with the world around me and received powerful responses

​Everglades Reflection

By Gwen Eyeington
Oil on Canvas
​​
30” x 30”
Price: $10,000
 
In "Everglades Reflection", a lone pond apple tree is rooted both on land and in the water, reaching its branches into fresh air. As it grows in Everglades National Park, it reflects to us the health of this fragile local ecosystem, and in turn the environment of south Florida. Like the pond apple tree, we all need land, water and air to to maintain life, and in this way we are connected. Can we be good stewards of our resources?​​

When visiting the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, I came upon 2 men scrubbing each gravestone, respectfully honoring the WWII deceased soldiers. I submitted this image because I feel it demonstrates the connection between the living and those who have passed as well as nurturing and maintaining a sense of historical connections between the past, the present and the future with dignity and respect for all

​Hare Root

By Lorin Duckman
Photograph on Canvas

40” x 30” 
Price: $1,000
 
In the US, only Florida has Banyan Trees. Showstoppingly beautiful, they grow by attaching on to other trees, epyphterly, dropping their roots and becoming their own. Gaze at the majestic tops. Covering the road, providing shade, sheltering from the rain and protection from life's other bummers. Buddha found enlightenment meditating under a Banyan. Me, I look at the roots, reflecting the visages passing by. Here, a hare has hidden a leveret under the leaves, before the mower got to her.​​​

Mystic Monochrome: Rain-Kissed Tranquility explores the quiet harmony between people and nature. A foggy Maine coastline, softened by rain, reveals both resilience and a sense of mystery.

The Visitor

By Erin Wood
Acrylic on Canvas

The cardinal represents the connection between heaven and earth and is a reminder to the grieving that healing can be found in the nature that is all around us.

The cardinal appeared clear and bright and singing against the vibrant green foliage and was my inspiration to start on a new artistic path featuring Mother Nature herself​​

God Within- embodies the sacred bond between humanity, nature, and spirit. The figure rooted in a flourishing tree symbolizes how our inner landscapes mirror the living world around us.

"Ethereal Drift" captures the fleeting rhythm between nature and human spirit. Layers of luminous blue, green, and ochre echo Florida's skies, water, and earth.

Through color and texture, it connects people to the living world around them, celebrating the root of place and the transience that nurtures our sense of connection.​​​

This painting is about capturing the spiritual transformation and symbolic transitional moments of the human experience thru the movement of water, wind and nature.

These transitions can be predictable, unexpected and perhaps maybe a moment of clarity.
