Watercolor
is a natural medium for my paintings. It provides a colorful, transparent
and spontaneous palette that embodies the ever-changing environment
I paint. The vast, largely unexplored ocean compliments the medium
as I experiment with color and technique to create unique images.
Scuba diving allows me to break the confines of the aquarium and
study my subjects in their natural environment. I’ve come within
inches of a barracuda, visited the home of a moray eel, swam with
dolphins and stingrays, and encountered thousands of reef fish.
I’ve strolled across the ocean floor with a crab, watched a
lobster protect his home, and hovered face to face with a blowfish.
I find nothing more amazing and interesting than exploring the ocean
depths. |
I
reflect my love for the marine world in my paintings. An ocean reef
is like a ballet; there are always a few creatures taking center stage,
but everything else around them is alive, moving in a rhythmic, fluid
orchestration. The acts and scenes change, but the plot remains constant.
As a member of the CORAL and REEF organizations, both dedicated to protecting
our oceans, my goal is to share my awareness of the fragile, delicate
balance an ocean reef needs to sustain life.
Hi
Tanya,
Thank
you so, so much for donating your beautiful jelly painting! I am so
proud to display it in the Nursery and the folks in here are thrilled
to call it their own. We're going to put it right next to the office,
overlooking the area we call the jelly station on our school tours.
Children visiting the lab get to sit there on carpets and learn about
the anatomy and life cycle of jellies, followed by dancing and drawing.
It seems appropriate to have jelly art there (with the added bonus that
I get to see it often right outside of the office).
Your
art is a wonderful addition to our Aquarium- thanks for sharing it with
us.
All the best,
-Kiersten
