🦈 Opening Day Highlights
On July 12, 2025, I opened my 8th solo show at SharkCon in Tampa, Florida — a dynamic event celebrating marine life, conservation, and underwater art. The energy was palpable as thousands of ocean enthusiasts gathered for the first day of this major convention.
🎨 Artworks on Display
My booth featured a curated selection of underwater-themed paintings, including new works and iconic pieces. Visitors explored surreal aquatic landscapes that reflect my passion for storytelling through color, depth, and symbolism.

Throughout the day, I had the pleasure of meeting collectors, fellow artists, and marine advocates. SharkCon offers a unique opportunity to connect directly with the public and share the inspiration behind each canvas.
