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!
The immediate response and knowledge of the tours. Jess was terrific with accessing our budget and type of tour.

This is the 5th trip Kassandra has planned for us, and if it is anything like the last four, it will be beyond perfect. Kassandra listens intently to each traveler's individual interests, and blends that information beautifully into a spectacular trip that is made to order. She is completely open to suggestions and uses her vast knowledge to enhance the experience. I am sure that as soon as we return from our latest adventure, Kassandra will be busy planning our next perfect excursion!

Kassandra Magruder from Adventure Life planned an amazing trip for us again. She listens to what you want and makes suggestions concerning accommodations and activities. She is very responsive and timely concerning any questions I had.
We were choosing between two different places and she priced out both trips.
She is very happy to help!
