Sanibel Island, FL | Lighthouse (Post-Ian)
Standing amid a landscape still bearing the scars of Hurricane Ian, the Sanibel Lighthouse rises as a quiet symbol of endurance. First illuminated in 1884 at Point Ybel, the skeletal iron tower has watched over the eastern tip of Sanibel Island for generations.
This image captures the lighthouse after the storm, framed by battered palms, open beach and the unmistakable light of Southwest Florida. Rather than dwelling on destruction, the composition reflects resilience—the survival of a familiar landmark within an island landscape beginning its long recovery.
Rendered as a watercolor artwork derived from photography, the piece preserves a distinctive moment in Sanibel’s history: a beloved landmark still standing.
Museum Glass with Elevated Presentation
Museum-grade glass is set away from the artwork using a precision spacing system—allowing the deckled edge to remain fully visible while introducing subtle depth.
The result is a presentation more aligned with gallery display than traditional framing.
