One of a kind oil paintings that vibrate with colorful marine life…brightly-patterned tropical fish,graceful sea fans, fascinating forms..all realistically detailed in uniquely-designed underwater reef scenes for indoors or outside

About Joan’s One-of-a-kind Oil Paintings on fossil Coral:
Coral is a very special gift from nature. Tiny sea creatures,called polyps, build colonies of stone-like dwellings in myriad shapes. Over millions of years they have formed the offshore reefs and the foundations of the Florida Keys. Joan uses these fossilized remains as stone “canvases” to create a rare blend of ancient archaeology and contemporary art. They are individually shaped and each scene is painted with her own artistic expression.
