A vibrant traveling mural exhibition by artist Christian Stanley that celebrates the vital 18-million-acre network of connected lands and waters sustaining Florida’s wildlife and people. Through a signature impressionistic “dash and dot” style, the artwork weaves together imagery of iconic species, historic ranching traditions, and the state’s agricultural heritage to illustrate the essential harmony between wild spaces and working landscapes. By bringing this visual story to local communities, the exhibit serves as a powerful call to action to protect the millions of acres of unprotected land currently at risk of development, ensuring that Florida remains a connected and thriving ecosystem for generations to come.
