A lone pelican perched on a weathered concrete pier near the Southernmost Point off Key West. While crowds gathered nearby to celebrate reaching the southern tip of the continental United States, this pelican seemed completely unbothered by the excitement, calmly watching the turquoise water below.
Pelicans are often seen soaring in groups along Florida’s coast, but this solitary bird captured a different side of their character. Patient, observant, and perfectly at home by the sea.
This artwork is inspired by that encounter and the simple joy of discovering wildlife in unexpected places. It’s a tribute to the pelicans that have become such a familiar and beloved part of Florida’s coastal landscape.
