New Art Exhibit at Coe Visitor Center Features the Imagery of Paul Marcellini HOMESTEAD, FL: Great weather and time off during the holiday season is a great time to visit Everglades National Park. If you need more motivation the new Art Exhibit at the Ernest Coe Visitor Center featuring photos by Paul Marcellini is a must see! Marcellini is an award-winning landscape and nature photographer. Internationally published, his work features dramatic light and fleeting moments. "These photographic images displayed on large canvas are absolutely breathtaking," says park spokesperson Linda Friar. Hoping to promote conservation of Florida's wild places, Marcellini seeks out scenes that appear frozen in time, unaffected by development and pollution. Born and raised just 20 miles from the Everglades main entrance, he has been visiting the park for as long as he can remember. It is an escape for him and he hopes to pass on the peace it gives him through his imagery. These images are a collection of the greater Everglades ecosystem taken over the past 3 years. Marcellini also participates in many of the local arts festivals. You can get a preview of Marcellini's art at his website, www.paulmarcellini.com. Awards: The Ernest Coe Visitor Center is located 11 miles southwest of Homestead on State Road 9336 and also features award-winning natural history displays, an 18-minute film, and related book sales. Center hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily; admission is free. For information and directions call (305) 242-7700. -NPS- |
