What does Apogee mean?
According to Merriam Webster, apogee has two meanings.
A. It is the point that the moon is at it's furthest orbit from the earth and B. To be at the highest point (culmination).
I initially came across the term apogee when scouring nautical reference books. During the apogee phase of the moon, the tides tend to be lower than normal and during this time it exposes areas in the marshes and beaches that once were covered with water allowing for treasures to surface. This was a special and exciting time for me as a child looking for scotch bonnets, sand dollars, and sea glass. For me, Apogee Art Studio is a place to display the culmination of my love for nature, life experiences, and coastal heritage.
