Artist Statement:
Northeast Florida has always been a unique and special place. It was the home of native peoples for more than 10,000 years before being colonized by early European settlers in the 1500s. Our complex and beautiful landscapes have been a source of inspiration for many artists including John Audubon and Winslow Homer.
In that same vein, Exalted Shores is a collaborative exhibition by two artists that showcases the stunning beauty of Northeast Florida’s coastal environments through the mediums of photography and art glass. Clint Burbridge’s glass forms are inspired by the architecture and anatomy of nature and Tom Schifanella’s photography captures our local landscapes in fresh and unexpected ways.
Our goal is to invite the viewer on a visual journey, immersing them in the natural beauty of Northeast Florida’s exalted shores and encouraging them to see the beaches, marshes, and forests we enjoy every day with a new perspective.
All events are free to Museum members with a $5 suggested donation for non-members.
