During that time Alex has traveled extensively chasing after a wide variety of gamefish with a fishing rod and a camera through much of Latin America, the Caribbean, Alaska, and the gulf and south Atlantic states. He has also worn many different hats while compiling an impressive resume that includes stints as assistant editor at Saltwater Fly Fishing magazine, and field editor and columnist for Florida Sportsman, the publication where his stories and photos appeared for 11 years.
Alex also joined the ranks of pro tournament angling, and for seven years he fished against many of the nation’s top light tackle anglers in venues from Texas to North Carolina while competing in the Redfish Cup, an exciting saltwater tourney series created for television. Perhaps you may have seen him on ESPN.
But most people associate Alex with Tarpon Bay Tales, the TV fishing show that he produced and hosted for ten seasons, the very show where the concept for his Fish & Game Art Fusion was born. Doing much of the video editing himself, Alex often incorporated his own still photography and illustrations in the graphics of the show. That is how he developed the innovative art form where he combines his imaging skills to create pieces that capture the beauty of gamefish and wildlife, as well as the pride and joy of the anglers and hunters who pursue them.
Of course, as Alex continues to venture out on the water and the field, he is constantly exposed to striking scenery and memorable situations from which derive new subjects and ideas for future pieces. With such an inexhaustible source of inspiration for his ‘Fish & Game Art Fusion, Alex should have no trouble adding to his online galleries of art prints. So be sure to stop by regularly for a visit, and see what new and exciting images become available for purchase.
And don’t forget, Alex will be at the Fly Fishing Film Festival in Orlando on Thursday, May 16. For tickets and information: Contact Hells Bay Boatworks 321-383-8223; Orlando Outfitters 407-896-8220 or Mosquito Creek Outdoors 407-464-2000.
