Thank you so much to all that came to the opening of "The Wild Heart of Florida" this past April 18th at Biscayne National Park. We had the privilege of listening to Dr. Mark Cook talking about his passion for the Everglades and his work as a conservationist. Many thanks to our assistant director, Bonnie Masdeu, for organizing this fantastic exhibition and showing her amazing photographs along works from Phoenix Spirit Diva, Kirsten Hines and Mark Cook.
A true highlight was "Perpetual Return", an installation of over 250 ceramic butterflies done by artist Milena Martinez Pedrosa.
