Thank you to everyone who joined Wild Space Gallery last week for our Author’s Series with .andrew and his book, Of Slash Pines and Manatees: A Highly Selective Field Guide to My Suburban Wilderness.

We’re grateful for the community you’ve helped build at the gallery, for the Pollitt family’s immense support of the Author Series, and for the warm welcome extended to Andrew Furman. We sold out of the book! For those who haven’t yet discovered it, Of Slash Pines and Manatees is a remarkable exploration of Florida’s natural world and the places we call home, and a fabulous read!  Thank you!

Ibrahim Miranda is a Cuban artist who gained international acclaim in the 1990s. A master of woodblock prints, Miranda played a key role in revitalizing Cuban art on the global stage. His richly colored multimedia artworks based on Cuban maps explore the island’s literature, music, religion, history, flora and fauna, Afro-Cuban heritage, its relationship to Florida, and both personal and collective biographies. The poetry and songs of Cuba inform the literary and philosophical depth of his prints and paintings.
