Let's talk inspiration! โจ๏ธ๐
I was so happy to see everyone who shared art work for the #forplanetocean challenge yesterday! Its an honour to be co-hosting and seeing all your beautiful work. ๐
The first prompt was one of my favourites because when it comes to fascinating marine creatures, I'm obsessed! ๐ง๐ผโโ๏ธ
I got my first taste of muck diving in mabul in Sabah, the Mayalsian part of Borneo and was instantly hooked. Seeking out the tiny critters hiding amongst the corals became just like searching for treasure. So when a job came up to manage a dive centre in the Lembeh Straits, the muck diving capital of the world, I couldn't get my application in quick enough!
Lembeh was a truly incredible place to live and work, and heres just a tiny ten second insight in to what it's like to dive there! ๐ฆ
Lembeh taught me just how intricate and incredible life can be found when you know where to look ๐
The black volcanic sands definitely inspire some of my work, there is traces of everywhere I've visited amongst my drawings ๐
If your feeling inspired to get creating check out my previous post about how to take part in #forplanetocean2022 because we would love to have you involved!
