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 as

Greeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

    it took me quite some time, but here she is, finally….the funny thing was, i had her drawn before you mentioned the scuba gear, and decided to convert her from a snorkeller to a scuba diva….it worked really well…after i got over how on earth i was to do the tank and regulator…very grateful for your hints :)
