Why do you care deeply about the ocean/what inspires you to protect it?

The ocean provides a vital service to our planet through this capacity to regulate atmospheric CO2 levels and thereby limits climate change and its impacts.

Did you have an “aha” moment that inspired you to take action? If so, what was it?

I began painting the ocean with more frequency since I became an ambassador to Oceanic Global to draw attention to the impact of global warming on the ocean.
