Great White Shark
Soft pastels and pastel pencils
Original Artwork (50cm x 27cm): Double mounted plus gutter mount, ready for framing
I’ve been fascinated with sharks since I was a child and after spending 3 weeks volunteering on one of the cage-diving boats in South Africa, I knew the next step was to observe the big breeding females off the coast of Mexico. It took 10 years until my dream was realised but it was worth the wait. The water clarity at Guadalupe Island is phenomenal, making it the Mecca of locations to observe these fascinating creatures.
I witnessed many behavioural intricacies in how they acted with each other and even how they interacted with me…… I had a couple of beautiful encounters where it was obvious they were quietly intrigued by me and we shared a connected moment eye-to-eye. I will always remember how that felt which is why I want to share my experience with you so that more people can understand that this species is sadly very misunderstood.
Notice there are no 'jaws' in my artwork. I want my first-hand knowledge to provide the wider public with a new perception that is somewhat different from the misinformed Hollywood movie.
