“Oceans”
This ivory box was a great find from an antique store and became
the canvas for this piece. A scuba-diver friend of mine was the
inspiration for the design. I decided not to focus on any one
ocean, rather to take some of my favorite undersea dwellers and
put them together. I used shell designs to create the scroll-like
boarder. The finished piece is meant to celebrate the planet’s
oceans. In 2007, it won the “Best Color Wildlife” at
the Mystic International Scrimshaw Competition. 3 ½” x
