Artist statement

In selecting the Mermaid as my theme I wanted to create a creature that was more in tune with her surroundings and environment than a mere human/fish, to the point where she is total organic, natural and almost hidden.
Wanting to play up her allure like the sailor tales of mermaids and sirens of old I wanted the piece to drawn you in, through her beauty and eyes but also have an element that the Mermaid, like the sea can be dangerous and unpredictable.

Originally being a princess I also liked the idea of her now being Queen of the Ocean with her father's trident surrounded by a living crown of anemones, fish, sea fan and coral.
Totally at one in harmony but also Ruler and guardian of her environment, a warning to those who threaten to harm it's beauty or inhabitants.

For this release Rhys Cooper will be selling all of them in order for them to all be signed & numbered by him. Just like all the other releases from PangeaSeed proceeds go to help Pangeaseed's education on the dangers facing the world's ocean's and marine life.
