Under the Sea Themed Print

"Aquatic Harmony" is a vibrant and colorful representation of marine life, featuring sea turtles, fish, shells, and sea anemones. The background is a beautiful shade of blue, giving the impression of water and creating a serene underwater scene.

One unique aspect of this artwork is that the sea turtles, sea anemones, seashells, and fish are all created from hand sculpted paper and paint, giving them a three-dimensional quality. Each element is meticulously crafted to showcase intricate patterns and textures, adding depth and movement to the composition.

The process of creating "Aquatic Harmony" was a labor of love, as I carefully painted and assembled each piece to bring this underwater world to life. The combination of paper and paint allowed me to explore different techniques and textures, resulting in a dynamic and cheerful artwork that is sure to captivate viewers.

I hope that "Aquatic Harmony" brings a sense of tranquility and joy to all who see it, and that it serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of marine life. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about my artwork, and I look forward to sharing more of my creations with you in the future.

Where Are All My Baby Sea Turtles?

I have created many different pieces and parts for my Under the Sea themed aquariums. I made sea turtles, seashells, sea anemone, sea plants, starfish, rocks, coral and lots and lots of hand cut paper sand.

I started working on this project after reading about the baby sea turtles and the adventures they must go through just to survive. Researching sea turtles really sparked my interest and inspired me to create an entire series of paper sculptures with an under the sea theme. Many of these finished pieces highlight sea turtles and their lives and some of the finished pieces reflect the beautiful under water world that exits in our oceans.

After a sea turtle hatches from its’ egg, they must work their way down the sandy beach til they reach the water. For the first ten years of their lives, scientists aren’t exactly certain where the sea turtles live. I imagine they will thrive living among the coral reefs.

I found that to be so interesting which started me on a path of creating interesting ways of showcasing a variety of different under the water scenes. I thought you may be wondering where all these baby sea turtles have gone, and how did I incorporate them into my art. Here are some close up views of the sea turtles along with the finished aquariums.

Paper Sculpture of a Blue Crab In the Ocean

I'm thrilled to share with you "Who Let the Crab In?" - a mesmerizing, three-dimensional sculpture that captures the beauty of an under the sea world.

“Who Let the Crab In?” is available for purchase through Seaside Art Gallery in Nags Head, NC. You can view this piece in person or online at Seaside Art Gallery

Measuring at 4.5" high and 4" wide, this stunning piece is made using hand-cut paper, watercolor, and gouache. The intricate details and vibrant colors mimic organic forms like sea plants, sea anemones, and coral, creating a fluid and dynamic composition that is truly captivating.

I was inspired to create this under the sea paper sculpture because I’ve always been fascinated by the mysteries of the ocean and wanted to bring a piece of it into the spotlight. Featuring a blue crab and set against a bed of sand, this miniature under the sea world is displayed under a clear glass dome, adding a touch of elegance and protection to the piece.

One of the most unique aspects of creating this artwork was the process itself. Each element was meticulously crafted by hand, resulting in a labor of love that truly shines through in the final product.

I hope "Who Let the Crab In?" sparks your imagination and allows you to escape into a world of wonder and enchantment. It's a true labor of love that I am proud to share with the world.
