Tideplay Art Print

Tideplay is a giclée art print featuring several playful Steller Sea Lions. These massive creatures are swimming just under the surface of the ocean, creating a unique reflection in the water. Steller Sea Lions are endangered in parts of the US (or “Special Concern” in other locations), and they are very vulnerable to human activity such as warming oceans due to climate change, oil spills, and being entagled by gear from commercial fisheries (also known as ghost gear). This painting features deep blues and greens, punctuated by oranges as the sunlight reflects off their sandy-rust coloured bodies. Fun fact, an easy way to tell the difference between Steller Sea Lions and California Sea Lions on a beach other than their size and colouring (as they’re often found fishing together) is their sounds — California Sea Lions make a “barking” sound, and Steller Sea Lions make a low deep loud roaring/grumbling sound.

The original painting is painted in oils on panel, and is one of six prints in the Reflections Collection. This series was inspired by the new David Attenborough documentary “Ocean,” and was painted to raise money for the rebuilding of the Whale Interpretive Centre in Telegraph Cove (tragically lost to fire Dec 31, 2024). Currently the original paintings are for sale at the Orca Spirit Adventures gallery in Victoria BC, 50% of the sale of the originals will be donated to the WIC. The other paintings in the Reflections Collection (as seen in the photos) are Surface Curiosity, Soundings, Resonance, Drift, and Glidepath. All of the paintings feature a reflection in the water — this is the junction between the air and the sea, which symbolizes the connection that we all have with the marine environment. The ocean creates more than half of our planet’s oxygen, so we must do what we can to protect this fragile environment as it literally creates the conditions of life for us.

15% of the proceeds of this print will be donated to marine conservation and education organizations.
