Statement
These artworks have been influenced by Ed’s experiences while visiting the North Carolina Crystal Coast and Key West Florida. The Crystal Coast, also called The Southern Outer Banks includes the Rachael Carlson Nature Reserve, Shackleford Banks and Bogue Banks, a barrier island, with many beach communities and panoramic views. Key West is the southern most Florida key with stunning sunsets experienced on a daily basis.
