🦈 SharkCon 2025: A Dive into Art and Connection
From July 12–13, the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa transformed into a vibrant celebration of marine wonder, community spirit, and artistic imagination. I was honored to showcase my latest work at SharkCon, marking my 8th appearance at this dynamic ocean-focused event.
🎬 Jaws 50th Anniversary
This year held special meaning as it coincided with the 50th anniversary of Jaws — a cultural milestone that shaped generations of ocean lovers and storytellers. I was proud to contribute to the tribute and reflect on how the film influenced my artistic journey.
🎨 Underwater Art on Display
Over two days, I presented original canvases and limited-edition prints that sparked conversations and shared reverence for the sea. My underwater art invites viewers to explore surreal landscapes and emotional depth beneath the surface.
🤝 Reconnecting with the Community
I had the joy of reconnecting with collectors, friends from previous dive shows — including some met over 20 years ago — and welcoming new visitors drawn to the dreamlike beauty of my paintings. The SharkCon community continues to inspire me with its energy, passion, and warmth.
🌐 SharkCon Legacy
This marks my 8th participation in SharkCon. You can explore all past editions and related posts via the SharkCon tag archive — a visual journey through years of marine art and shared experiences.
