Meet Christina, owner and operator of Frame Masters Gallery in Audubon Park. From an early age, Christina always found happiness in designing, building, dismantling, and tinkering. In her shop, she gets to do all of the above while also figuring out how to frame just about anything you can think of. Even more incredible, she also takes the extra time to really get to know and understand her customers, making sure everyone is heard and leaves her shop with a smile (or crying happy tears.) Either way, it’s all very inspiring. You can also visit her shop online at http://Fmgorlando.com or on Instagram @theframemastersgallery

Meet Tom--who was pivotal in creating both myself and the magnificent Orlando Wetlands Park in Christmas, FL (about 30 minutes from Audubon Park.) Open to the public year-round, the park provides a balanced ecosystem and healthy habitat for a variety of plants and animals, including some rare and endangered species. The primary function of the wetlands is to provide enhanced  treatment of reclaimed water in order to meet the rapidly-growing needs of the City of Orlando and surrounding areas. In addition, the park serves as a beautiful wildlife preserve area and lovely place to visit, all while doing the hard work of improving the health of our aquifers for the future well-being of our community. It’s definitely worth a visit! Find out more at https://www.orlando.gov/Parks-the-Environment/Directory/Wetlands-Park
