Introduction:
"The Mission" collection. Commissioned acrylic on canvas paintings for The Florida Aquarium, representing their mission to educate our community and protect our blue planet for future generations.
Project Details:
Over the course of three months, I developed and painted this collection of four artworks for The Florida Aquarium to be displayed in their boardroom to always remind them why they are doing what they've dedicated their lives to, a reminder of what we stand to lose if we don't protect our home.
Throughout the project I collaborated with The Florida Aquarium staff and in house scientists to create an accurate Florida reef painting representing endangered species like Staghorn coral, Elkhorn Coral, Sea Turtles and Sandtiger Sharks, all of which are a part of core conservation initiatives the aquarium leads.
Project includes my largest canvas work, an 11' x 4' panoramic of the Florida Keys reef.
