Sea Oak, Halidrys siliquosa

The latest collection of Seaweed Artworks have come to fruition from over two decades of producing intricate drawings of seaweed. Admiring their many forms and natural diversity, from the wildly robust to delicate and detailed structures, has provided endless and ongoing studies. Inspired by the coastal habitat by my home in Cornwall, there is rarely a day that goes by that I won’t be found at some point beachcombing or swimming in the sea. This has given me an enormous respect and appreciation for marine based plant-like organisms.

The original artworks are rendered in watercolour, using purity of pigments to capture the light and colours of these exquisite ocean plants. With an emphasis of exploration of how light and saltwater illuminates seaweed I have been fascinated with trying to visually record the stunning beauty of how I view them underwater. With an idea of sharing their ornate and wondrous capabilities through my art. 

This collection of fine art prints is limited to just one hundred copies of each illustration. Each piece comes signed, numbered and embossed and is a timeless piece of unique and collectable art.
