Ocean Artists


Oil painting, Milenski
As we all know from experience, individuals express their passions in a variety of different ways.  When it comes to the ocean and its creatures, some advocate, some pursue answers through science, and others write stories or news articles.  For the creative among us, other forms of expression are also available.  A whole community of ocean lovers who raise awareness and inspire others to act on the ocean's behalf through art.  Paintings, photographs, sculptures, and jewelry are only the beginning.  

Courtney Mattison's Corals
Just like films can elicit our emotions and communicate simple and powerful concepts, still images and artistic renditions of the oceans and its creatures can become an invaluable conservation tool.  Check out these artists to get inspired yourself, and think further about ways that you can use your skills to share your passions with others.  Many of them are strong proponents of interdisciplinary work.  Click on the links below and see what interesting tips you can pick up from their bios and posted resumes.
