Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "I painted Valentine with strong contrast to depict his determination to bring light back to the wet pine savannas. Using a wide variety of colors, I hoped to depict the life in him, his passion, returning life to the savanna in his hands and renewing its vitality."
