| Kit Cooper |
Out of the Florida Keys comes Kit Cooper, an artist who taught herself how to capture the dazzling scenes that constantly embraced her daily life as a fishing guide.
Anchored up under the Seven Mile Bridge waiting on the giant tarpon to get energized by the evening tide change and with a cool breeze softly spinning around her, Kit would glance westward towards the Everglades to witness a burst of lingering colors beyond imagination as the day wrapped up its final show time performance.
That beauty, and that brilliance, and that clear pure visualization of nature that so few have the fortune to experience required sharing. With a brush and a old piece of canvas some wandering artist had abandoned, Kit starting relating the visions of the Keys and the Islands by painting them. She initially started showing them to her fishing clients who immediately purchased them and encouraged Kit to create others.
Deciding that she had disrupted enough tarpon lives, Kit sold her guide boat and acquired a great deck chair which she nailed to her dock figuring that neither of them were going to move much for the next couple of years.
Those days of hanging out in the Keys have gone the way of the sunsets she painted, and have been replaced with the opportunity to travel thoughout the Caribbean and to paint the scenes that constantly demand her attention. The beauty of the Islands is not possible to explain with words, only through the artistic talents of Kit Cooper can a mainlander start to comprehend what Kit sees and feels every single day.
