Patrice R Tobolowsky has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Florida International University. Patrice has lived in Miami since 1969. The Everglades has always been a big part of her
work. Patrice works in media combining photography and painting. Patrice finds an inner peace in the Everglades. “The Everglades, animals and the landscapes are G-d's gift to the human race. We are all responsible for preserving the balance in the Everglades.”
(President Harry S Truman said in the dedicated Everglades National Park on December 6, 1947. The ceremony was held in Everglades City.)
“Here are no lofty peaks seeking the sky, no mighty glaciers or rushing streams wearing away the uplifted land. Here is land, tranquil in its quiet beauty, serving not as the source of water, but as the last receiver of it. To its natural abundance we owe the spectacular plant and animal life that distinguishes this place from all others in our country.”
