ELC Presents: “Wild and Beautiful”
Cheri and Mark Schumann, long-time residents of Vero Beach who now live in Santa Fe, New Mexico, have traveled from Alaska to Africa and beyond both Arctic Circles to witness and capture images of animals in their natural settings. Cheri and Mark will be exhibiting a selection of their wildlife photography at the Environmental Learning Center during January and February. They will join us for a meet-and-greet on January 9th from 4:00 to 6:00 PM and an artist’s talk on February 18th from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM.
During the artist’s talk, Cheri will discuss two transformative wildlife encounters that moved her to tears. The exhibit will include 30 color and black and white images available for purchase, with all proceeds benefiting the Environmental Learning Center.

Mark Schuman will be joining us February 18 at 10:30 AM to present his book Homeless in a Land of Plenty. From 2015 to 2020 Mark traveled from Maine, to Florida, to California, to Washington, documenting homelessness in America. In more than 70 towns and cities across the country, he met with service providers and with hundreds of persons experiencing homelessness. What he saw and learned about America’s growing homeless crisis is presented in a book of black and white film images that reveal the human side of a story too often reported only in numbers. Included in the book are a selection of the more than 100 interviews conducted with persons experiencing homelessness and with service providers.
All proceeds from the book’s sale will benefit the Environmental Learning Center and local agencies serving persons currently without stable housing.
