About Ester:

As a child, I had passion and appreciation for the art in exotic leather goods. In 2010, I got certified as an artisan for organic aromatherapy products. Then, in September 2012, I was certified with the Department of Industrial Development of Puerto Rico and the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture for the preparation of any items created in exotic leather skins.

The preparation of each of my works is 100% handcrafted without the use of machinery. I dedicate long hours with a lot of love and passion to achieve "perfection" in each of its details in the completion of each piece.

All my creations like; Messenger bags, tote bag, wallets, backpacks, crossbody, and the vast majority of fanny packs, are unique pieces, I won't elaborate on the same design.

West of Orlando, just 30 minutes from Downtown Orlando and the major attractions there is a “hidden gem” nestled between Winter Garden and Clermont in the beautiful Town of Oakland, A 128-acre preserve offering environmental education and ecotourism activities for visitors of all ages.

Oakland Preserve is truly a place for macro photography and nature photography. With plenty of local flora, fauna, insects, and fungus for you to create great compositions.

@bryanmgarces

A wonderful local park with gorgeous hiking trails, a butterfly garden, an education center with water bottle fill up stations, and a boardwalk that goes out to the Lake Apopka.

Free admission, but donations are always appreciated. Please donate to keep the preserve.

I enjoyed the scenery and landscape. There are surprises everywhere you must keep your eyes open cause you might miss the tiniest of details.

This is a beautiful nature preserve. The walk along the bridge/trail is gorgeous and you can see so many varieties of wildlife and plants. The lake view is peaceful. The education center is full of information and helpful people. This is one of my favorite places to enjoy nature.

Take your time on the boardwalk and the trails, if you walk quickly down the trails, you will miss the wildlife hiding out (gators, turtles, frogs, and snakes). I usually spent like an hour or two in the park; also take to account the florida weather bring lots of water and go early since its less crowded.

Go out there and enjoy life and make sure to wear your masks.

Garcesbros Creatives Spotlight: Xavier Moss @xmossart

Today we cover a cool story about Xavier Moss, this is a Garcesbros Creative Spotlight.

Xavier majored in Biological Illustration and minored in Entomology/Nematology. He has integrated his Christian faith with his love of nature, to his art. Making his style unique. He is still as big a Star Wars fan as he continues to create pieces inspired by that franchise, as well as several other fandoms like Marvel and DC Comics. Xavier's perspective is his wonder of the natural world, faith, love of science-fiction, and comics continue to influence his art.

We did a small documentary video on Xaviers success on creating an amazing illustration for one of Oviedo’s landmarks.

Go check the postcard wall art at Oviedo on the Park located in Oviedo, Florida.
