Water, the sky, and especially living things like people and animals are challenging subjects and I like a challenge. These pieces pictured come from a process of  searching the reefs for live shells because I want to capture the animal in its full glory instead of what is left of it’s remains.  Carefully, I pluck the creature from its foot hold, avoiding any toxic  barbs, snap a few quick pictures for reference, then return it to its home. The animal is perhaps a bit annoyed but otherwise undisturbed.   
     The finished products have been very popular and sell quickly.  But I am always on the hunt for new creatures to briefly molest before immortalizing as new artwork. Please see my inventory page for availability of originals. Some pieces are available as 
greeting cards and prints. Please visit my Etsy shop to purchase.
