Author Information

After a successful 30+ year career in finance, and a devoted chapter as a mother to her daughter Natalie, Mory Machado has embraced a long-held dream: to pursue her creative passions through the lens of a camera. What began as a simple hobby sparked from a life-changing safari in Kenya has grown into a vibrant second act-one rooted in adventure, gratitude, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of the present moment. Now semi-retired and based in Florida, Mory has dedicated herself to creating work that allows others to ""Escape from Reality."" Her images-whether landscapes, seascapes, or intimate wildlife portraits-serve as visual invitations to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the natural world. Mory believes that art should be accessible, meaningful, and tailored to each person's space and spirit. Mory's photography has been recognized by the Naples United Arts of Collier County and is available through her platforms: morymachado.com and picollexion.etsy.com Veteran Graphic Designer and Art Director Jose Barcita has worked at some of Virginia's most prestigious advertising agencies and garnered numerous advertising and design awards in local, national, and international competitions.
