Florida Field Guide, Volume One is a visual tribute to the wild heart of the Sunshine State. Featuring 109 meticulously rendered species, this inaugural volume blends fine art and natural history into a timeless fine art unlike any other. Each animal is presented in Alice Absolutely’s digital draft form as it exists before being transformed into her signature carved-paint style, layered, etched, and refined, evoking the precision of vintage scientific illustration while carrying the emotional weight of contemporary conservation.

Rooted in reverence for Florida’s fragile ecosystems, the Field Guide documents both iconic and often overlooked species with quiet dignity. From coastal waters to upland scrub, each image stands alone, free of background and distraction, inviting close observation and reflection. The collection serves not only as an artistic catalog, but as a visual record of a landscape under pressure, honoring what still exists and what deserves protection.

Published by Hane Lake Press, Florida Field Guide, Volume One is the first installment in an ambitious, long-term project dedicated to preserving Florida’s natural legacy through art. Designed for collectors, nature lovers, educators, and conservation-minded readers, this volume is both a keepsake and a call to attention, a reminder that what we choose to notice, we choose to protect.
