USA Travel Magazine's Fall Edition we featured several Character of the Keys. These
Characters express the heart of the Keys, and then there is
Stacie L. Krupa, who embraces the spirit of the Keys. Like a
photographer, Stacie uses various mediums to capture the
nature beauty around her in Islamorada, a small island
community about 90 miles south of Miami in the Florida Keys.
She has an eye for the bold and beautiful in life that
express the character of the Keys. Her works of art come
alive with bright colors and stunning images of sea life,
birds, and the world as she sees it through her artistic
lens. When you meet her you'll find she has a irresistible
charm, which shines through in her art work. Her Art
Gallery, located at Mile Marker 82.9 - 82935 Overseas
Highway, Suite 1 in Islamorada is filled with amazing pieces
of art.
From
bold parrots to the local favorite on the menu, Mahi Mahi,
otherwise known as the Dolphin fish, and there's even a
space for her daughter beautiful creations. While traveling
through the Keys, stop at mile marker 74.5 and you can view
one of Stacie’s large-scale public murals called the
