"Off the cuff, I knew that I wanted to make pieces that raised awareness for biodiversity loss. Coming from a diver’s family, I got used to hearing and seeing how vibrant and colorful life underwater is and can be. It always fascinated me greatly and played a large role in my finding my fairly vibrant style early on in my career.

The realization that all of that might be (and is) going away is something that frightens me. This is why I chose to make a representation of what I feel is a vibrant and colorful underwater scene. Hope you like it, and please take an active part in saving our oceans."
