I did these two artworks by combining the photographs of real Blacktip Reef Sharks and the drawing artwork at the Hua Hin Resort BLUPORT for my second artwork. In the first one I used the same process but different sea creatures.

Dear Bodhi,
Today, I did two artworks for you and Kai. I hope you like them. Please tell Grandma the names of the sea creatures in the first drawing. The photographs of the sea creature artwork at the Hua Hin Resort BLUPORT are the last part of the photographs that Grandma took.
Love & miss all of you,
Grandma Ing and Grandpa John

7 Ocean Artists Turning Sharks into Art
MADELINE ST CLAIR BAKER
Snow Seychelle McCormick – @swimming_in_moonlight
“I love to free dive in the kelp forests, draw sea creatures and sip tea.” Meet Snow, a Pacific Northwest native, living on a tiny island surrounded by beautiful Orcas. Inspired by the beauty and grace of sharks, her work spans a range of mediums; from her stunning pen and ink drawings to water color to the occasional woodwork.
Driven by a deep respect for sharks, Snow’s work aims to inspire people to see sharks with eyes of love. “I love Jacques Cousteau’s quote, ‘We protect what we love’. I think humans possess one super power, when we love something, we become magnificent and amazing beings capable of unstoppable kindness.”
Cherilyn Ramsey – @stoked_creative
“The ocean has brought me so much happiness and purpose these past few years. I couldn’t help but to grasp that feeling that it gave me and put it on paper.” Meet Cherilyn, surfer, free diver, wakeboarder, snowboarder, volleyballer and artist. Originally from Florida but now living in New Zealand, Cherilyn creates beautiful hand drawn, black and white artwork using micron pens, watercolor and charcoal.
Angered by the negative attitudes and misconceptions of sharks, Cherilyn hopes that her work can inspire change. “I hope that my art helps to educate people on the critical state of our oceans, and the well-being of sharks.”
Blake Kanan – @creatively_blake
“I figured if I could make people see the beauty of a shark’s design, then maybe people would start seeing the animal as a piece of art, instead of a monster.” Blake Kanan recalls the time when he first started drawing sharks. “The assignment was to look at your paper as if it were a window, and my window was underwater with sharks swimming by.”
“I love sharks, and my sister is also an artist and loves sharks too.” Student, twin, and Florida native, Blake’s love of sharks runs in the family. Most of Blake’s work is in graphic art, logos, illustrations and graphics, but when he gets the time, his go to medium is acrylic paint or pen. His work is beautiful and his message poignant and powerful. “Don’t let fear get in the way of something beautiful.”
“Don’t let fear get in the way of something beautiful.”
Rachel Nutkins – @rachelnutkinsart
“I wish more people could see them the way we do, not as scary monsters to be hunted and feared but as an important part of our ecosystem that should be protected and treated with respect.” UK-based illustrator and artist, Rachel Nutkins, adores the ocean and all of its weird and wonderful creatures. Rachel’s work always features “a bit of sparkle”; her semi-realistic and brightly colorful style perfectly capturing the charismatic world of sharks (she even has a debut comic out now!).
Though swimming with the bronze whaler shark in New Zealand initiated her love for sharks, it was learning about public perceptions towards them that made her start translating them into art. “Learning more about how mistreated and misunderstood sharks are made me want to draw attention to them in my art and hopefully help spread awareness about them.”

Dear Kai,
Grandpa John and I are very sorry that you still sick. We hope you will feel better soon. We will be back at home in Newark, NJ, USA on November 15, 2023. In only a little bit more than two weeks, we will be home to see all of you. Grandma wants to take you and Bodhi to Newark Museum, to the library, and to play in the parks. Maybe, Amelia will want to join us. It would be very nice.
I hope you and Bodhi will be healthy and strong to do all the activities that we plan together. Please take care of Mommy and Daddy also, they are working very hard. Grandpa John and I are improving and get better every day. We want to make sure that we will be well so we can take the trip to home.
I did two artworks today. I hope it will cheer you and Bohdi up, to see the Blacktip Reef Sharks, and other sea creatures.
Love & miss all of you,
Grandma Ing and Grandpa John
