From gorgeous sunsets over the water to charming scenes capturing the spirit and culture of the Seminoles to the large scale narrative murals in the Capitol illustrating important aspects of our state’s past and present, Still puts paint to canvas in honor of Florida as no artist has done before, “ explains Appleton Museum of Art's curator of exhibitions Ruth Grim.
