Every year, the Old Florida Celebration of the Arts in Cedar Key selects a piece of art to become the design motif for the festival’s posters, postcards and T-shirts.

Using hand-made tile, Valerie captured the birds, tides, sea grass and Native American spirit whose ancestors created the mounds millenniums ago.
