Description

The beauty of the sea has inspired poets, writers and artists since the beginning of time. But on today's environmental scene, perhaps no one has done more to promote the importance of preserving that beauty than marine life artist Wyland.


Wyland has earned the distinction as one of America’s most unique creative influences, and a leading advocate for marine resource conservation. An accomplished painter, sculptor, photographer, writer, and SCUBA diver, he has traveled the farthest reaches of the globe for more than twenty-five years, capturing the raw power and beauty of the undersea universe.

His non-profit Wyland Foundation has supported numerous conservation programs since 1993, including Wyland’s monumental Whaling Wall mural project — an epic series of more than ninety-one life size marine life murals that spans twelve countries on four continents, and is viewed by an estimated 1 billion people every year. The artist’s efforts, moreover, have been recognized by the United Nations, Sierra Club, the Underwater Academy of Arts and Sciences, where he is listed among its Diving Hall of Fame, and private and public institutions throughout the world.


Wyland Ocean Wisdom is a 263-page, hard cover book of original brushdrawings, quotes and inspiration from the master of aquatic art, printed in black and white on high quality, deckle-edge paper.


Personally autographed at a Ft. Lauderdale appearance.
