Bioluminescence Oil, 18 x 24 in, 2015, First in the Bioluminescence series. The light of life and the natural world. In all the vastness of space, as of yet, we know of only one planet that supports life. At least within some great distance from here, life is rare. Each organism being the exquisite and detailed product of billions of years of evolution, life is precious. This point of light and inspiration stands in contrast to the lanterns and lights that are historically thought to be sources of illumination but are now dimmed; mythologies and superstitions humans have created as we struggled in the dark of ignorance to understand our world. But the process of science has revealed a luminous, living planet, more amazing than we could have ever imagined. Where the intricacies of biology are miracles of evolution and our consciousness is a gift of natural processes that allow us to experience what it is to be alive.

Experiencing bioluminescence in Cocoa Beach, Florida

The Large Maw Mermaid, or the more commonly known “Treasure Hoarder”, is a medium sized mermaid found across tropical seas. This mermaid is well documented for gobbling up sunken treasures due its propensity for eating anything it can fit in it’s mouth. Caught specimens are commonly found with bellies full of gems, gold, and other sunken paraphernalia. Its why they are also known by another name, “Neptune’s Purse”.
