Galapagos: a playground for artists, photographers and people who just love wildlife! (Like me!) Explore with me...See the paintings I create inspired by this unique environment...Get good travel tips for the islands!
Hello! My name is Staci, and I am an artist and photographer. Me and my buddy, marine iguana (Staci Edwards) My favorite subject to work with is wildlife, so the Galapagos Islands were an obvious dream destination for me! I created a journal out of a watercolor book, which I will be sharing with you in my blog posts. Some things I painted and drew before my trip to the islands, in anticipation of what I would see there. working on a painting (Staci Edwards) Some were created after the trip, using my photographs and experiences as inspiration for the images. I work in acrylics, gold leaf, colored pencil, collage, mosaic...whatever medium is the most useful for getting my vision across.The Archipelago, painted in acrylics then gold leafed (Staci Edwards) This is a map I made of the islands, which I filled in as I travelled around Galapagos! Finished map in acrylics and gold leaf (Staci Edwards)
I also enjoy sharing interesting facts about the animals and landscapes, as well as travel tips to ease your own journeys.
The company I booked my cruise to the islands with, Adventure Life, is having a contest through this blog. The winner receives a trip to the Galapagos--if you enjoy these posts, please consider voting to send me to the islands I did not get to experience on this trip! I would love to visit them and have them inspire more art. A new blog will be created documenting that trip and the pieces I create from it.
My hope is that you will be inspired, get great advice and enjoy my journey through this blog! Happy Travels!
I spent 2 entire days trying to find my Alaska small boat trip, with no success. Then Erin from Adventure Life gave me 4 choices on the same day I contacted her. She was caring and very efficient. I'm very excited about the cruise she found for me.

Everything about our Galapagos experience was top-notch. I highly recommend this trip if you like be active. Everyone from the planners to the guides to the crew set us up to experience and soak in everything the Galapagos has to offer. They took care of every detail so we could learn and enjoy.

We had an amazing trip. The accommodations of our hotel first 3 nights and the accommodations of the ship were perfect. Our guides were amazing. They went snorkeling with us everyday and took amazing pictures and pointed out various species of fish. On the land adventures, they explained everything about the islands and animals that we were looking for and seeing. They also took amazing photos and videos that they shared with us in a whats app group with the entire ship. This gave us the ability to upload our own video and pictures along with other shipmates so we all got these great photos from everyone. It was a once in a lifetime trip that left us with many amazing memories and very possible we would consider going back.
