One of the most talented marine wildlife artists and illustrators Florida has ever known, Steve Whitlock. Has an interesting history that proved to many his determination to overcome adversity. Steve is a navy veteran, a blue-collar plasterer, a fishing guide, and a former marijuana smuggler that got busted in his early life! But now, his artwork is some of the most sought-after pieces by anglers all over the country. We interviewed Steve at his home and gallery in Sarasota, Florida and he shared with us candidly what it was like to be looking over his shoulder for the DEA and FBI. Then eventually turning his life around and being one of the most respected artists in his genre!
