Living in Florida for over 30 years, I have tried to capture the beauty of this graceful tree in many of my works and in many mediums. The palm tree symbolizes the love I feel for living in a warm, tropical climate and waking up most days to sunshine. I lived half my life in northern cities with gray skies, lots of days of rain and snow and early darkness in winter. I appreciate the beauty of the Florida palms and am lucky to have so many examples in my work to date. Here is a small sampling of my infatuation with palm trees over the years.
