Meet the beloved, Florida-famous Artist and enjoy his Retrospective of 40 years In Relationship with the Ichetucknee River
Johnny Dame…an Artist, Naturalist and Earth Shepherd.
Over the entirety of my Lifetime, I have created thousands of drawings, paintings, articles and songs, all as a direct by-product of my Love for this Sacred Planet! I am a Seventh Generation Floridian, and my heritage is of English, French, Spanish and Choctaw. In 1984, I was introduced by my Cousin Charley to the beautiful Springfed Ichetucknee River and subsequently moved to North Florida and anchored my commitment to being a Spokesperson for the Earth.
In addition to assisting in the acquisition of lands for preservation, I have served on the Boards of numerous Conservation Groups and have dedicated much of my Life to standing up for the Rights of the Natural World. I have also taught Ecological Awareness and Sense of Place in Elementary, Jr. High, High School and University Classrooms, utilizing hand-crafted Map Paintings and detailed Ecosystem representations to help bring greater understanding to this interface of humanity and the natural world. I was the Resident Artist and Naturalist at Panther Meadows on Mount Shasta for over 25 years and also served as the Resident Artist and Naturalist at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida.
I’ve also had the honor and privilege of exploring Florida and North America over the entire course of my lifetime. My Father and my Grandmother were Phenologists (Phenology is the science of studying nature and the cycles of nature over time) and I learned much from each of them and for over 50 years I have documented my own observations of nature and world events.
I have a very vivid memory of my entire life, and being a lifelong student of synchronicity, I have recorded the uniqueness of my experiences and interrelationship to nature and the timeline of the world.
Come join me on this exciting and continuous journey, as we explore my visions of this interface between humanity and the natural beauty of the Earth!
