Robert Simone
St. Petersburg, FL
"Rooted in a modest upbringing which included boating, fishing, drawing and painting with my father, I have grown to prefer simple things and find extraordinary beauty in ordinary places. I am inspired by the natural beauty of Florida's landscape, especially the coastal scenery. "
