Each year, we work with a Florida-based artist to create eye-catching project cards to help promote our statewide Volunteer Work Parties. We're thrilled to share these beautiful illustrations by Elaine Shoaf featuring iconic Florida wildlife.
From our charming avian friends to the charismatic manatee and the iconic Florida panther, we hope Elaine's artwork will help illuminate Florida's natural beauty and connect people to the Florida Trail. You'll find these cards at our outreach events across the state and at REI stores.
Elaine Shoaf is an illustrator, arts educator, and book artist living in Gainesville, FL. She is constantly inspired by the strange and swampy flora and fauna of her native Florida, especially by the birds! Find her work at @almaelaineshoafart
