Description
Book Synopsis: The first study of its kind, featuring over 80 important artists who have lived in Florida. With its natural beauty, distinctiveness, and warmth, Florida has attracted an abundance of artists for centuries.

Capturing the Sunshine State's essence, this well-researched and generously illustrated volume tells the fascinating stories of these creative people and reveals secrets behind their three-dimensional art—from realistic to abstract to folk art.
