I've been a huge fan of Clyde Butcher since I learned about him shortly after moving to Florida…read more He's been called the Ansel Adams of Florida, which I'm sure is a great honor, but I think he's an artist further of his own casting. It seems to me that the Everglades are a very tough and unforgiving environment to photograph with the ever changing weather patterns and the brutal heat and humidity in the warm season. Moreover, the views are not like pointing a camera at a majestic mountain; the imagery involves multiple depths of frame and objects to consider and the brightness of the Florida sun and sky produce reflections off the water which are hard to contrast with the scenery. Big Cypress Gallery is right off Highway 41, the famed "Tamiami Trail", in Collier County, on Florida's western half. On our trip in early January, we witnessed much wildlife, including many alligators. The gallery is beautifully done; the impressive large-framed prints of Clyde's many photographic works draw you in. I didn't realize how many accolades (including from US Presidents) and awards he has received over his long career and there are documentaries that follow his work and contributions which I hope to watch. It is not an understatement to say that Clyde Butcher and his photographs revealing the pristine and quiet beauty of the Everglades have been a major force behind preserving this unique ecosystem. I visited not only to see the art gallery but to take the tour of the swamp behind the gallery on the 13 acre property. From the moment Scott (my tour guide) and I stepped down into the pleasantly cool water (it was on average about knee-deep that day) I was fascinated and captivated by all I witnessed first hand as we made our way through the terrain. The pictures I took don't do it justice, in fact. I highly recommend the tour and I think it would be especially memorable for kids!

Having done a lot of photography in the past I was familiar with his work. Wow these are fantastic works of art to see up close and in person. The fact that he would wade into swamps with that huge camera, gators and snakes is crazy but the end product is worth it. What an artist. I cannot afford these prints but it was great seeing them in.

We enjoyed visiting this gallery and getting to know the artist-in-residence - and owner - Carmen Sotolongo Kelley. Carmen is a Cuban-American whose day job is teacher in the local public schools. She has a distinctive style as a painter, which provides testimony of her proud heritage and her environs. Ms. Kelley's use of bold color and emphatic brush tells a wonderful story. We were also impressed with the work of Carmen's daughter. Her fish paintings were stunning. Our painting will be the first thing our guests see as they enter our home. Since my wife and I are educators, too, as are many of our friends, I told Carmen I'll be proud to tell everyone that, "The artist is a teacher."
