“Kelp Garden” is a mixed media painting inspired by the graceful movements of kelp in the West Coast oceans of British Columbia. It highlights the vital role kelp forests play in supporting marine life, from iconic species like whales and sea otters to salmon and herring. The artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of our ecosystem, while also shedding light on the threats faced by kelp forests due to warming waters and the rapid changes in the marine environment.
