Mail Art South Florida
This is my latest artwork created as part of the #mailartmovement, where I share stories of our fauna, flora, culture, and heroes with the world. The subject this time is the wood stork, a bird that holds a special place in my heart. It is the only stork that breeds in the United States and is considered a vital indicator species for the health of the Florida Everglades. Through art, I hope to capture not only its unique beauty but also the significance it carries for our natural ecosystems and heritage.
I have admired the wood stork ever since I was a young boy learning about it alongside the American alligator. At that time, both species faced grave threats from overhunting for their skins and plumage, and their future looked uncertain. Thankfully, dedicated conservation efforts have made a real difference, and today both the wood stork and the alligator can once again be seen throughout South Florida. Their story is one of resilience and renewal, and it inspires me to continue sharing and celebrating the natural world through my art.
