Abstract:

Jeffrey Jakub grew up in a rough Newark, N.J. neighborhood. Early on he had a passion for art, watercolor especially, which continued through high school and at the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art. He had a career as a commercial illustrator, but also continued his fine art. His painting earned him the American Watercolor Society's signature membership as well as numerous other awards. While visiting Southern colleges with his wife and son, they stopped in Washington, saw a sign for Pamlico Plantation, and decided this was the place for them.

Abstract:

Blake and Emily Scott of Washington have been making award-winning wildlife films since 1992. They have filmed in many of the world's most beautiful places, but much of their work has been done at the wildlife refuges in Eastern North Carolina. The Scotts say they are not in the business for the awards, but rather \"to instill an appreciation for, and a respect of, wildlife in its natural habitat and what it means to protect that habitat so future generations can enjoy geese, black bears, and wolf pups in the wild.\"
