Scuba Diva



Scuba Diva is my latest creation for the “Children of the World” Series
She is a mixed media production created on brown paper over white gesso
using chalk pastels, acyrlic paint and charcoal.
Scuba Diva was influenced and inspired by two friends of mine here on Red Bubble, both of their names have the initials MT
Muscular Teeth who a great friend of mine challenged me to create this one… and MattTworkowski inspired me with his beautiful photographs from under the sea….
Scuba Diva belongs to the following groups:
Mixed Media and Underwater & Sealife (Limit 2 Per Day) Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters
