About me:

As a marine life artist, I have dedicated my life to raising awareness about issues facing our world's waters. I began painting life-size murals of whales and other marine life over 25 years ago to inspire people to protect and preserve our ocean. 100 "Whaling Walls" later, my mission has expanded to educate people around the planet about the need to conserve all water resources and habitats. I realized that you can't save one body of water without thinking about the next - you can't save the ocean without protecting our lakes, rivers, estuaries, and wetlands. I started the Wyland Foundation in 1993 to encourage environmental awareness through public art, classroom education, and community events. By sharing our knowledge of the need of clean water and the interconnectedness of the world's waterways, we can have a lasting global impact.

    HOW ARE YOUUUU DOING?
  • Jun 22 2009 6:07 PM

    I had a phone meeting this morning with Jennifer Johnson @ Sea Shepherd headquarters and it went very well! She was most impressed with my proposal and we discussed a few things.

    It turns out that Sea Shepherd has been wanting for a while to get a SSCS chapter organized in California and this is our ticket for finally doing so.

    She is going to be speaking to her supervisor today who is based here in California and share with her my ideas for SSCS California and a benefit show.

    This is very exciting! Jennifer is forwarding my contact info to her supervisor now and will be calling me this afternoon. How exciting!


    To everyone who has offered their help no matter where you live please keep my email address so I can put you on my mailing list for updates and planning once I get official word from Sea Shepherd.
