Day 22, Fellowship. A sketch from the work I did during my last fellowship which redescribed a deep sea benthic ctenophore Tjalfiella. Unlike other benthic comb jellies, Tjalfiella has three openings to its gut, a primary mouth and 2 secondary mouths on its "arms." #sciartseptember

And finished! How many shrimp can you find? If you’re headed to the Swedish Biodiversity Symposium in October then keep and eye out for this painting among other artworks by the @unseenocean.bsky.social #deepsea #deepseacreatures 🐡🦑 #coldwatercoral #acrylicpainting #art #scicomm

We are going to kick off our first show in Sweden next month - join us for an unforgettable blend of fine art and science! You can check out the events section on our site for details! www.unseenoceancollective.com #deepsea #deepseacreatures 🐡 #coldwatercoral #womeninsteam #scicomm

A double feature for today's #sciartseptember prompt venomous, cause I can't decide. We have two old drawings of mine featuring the box jellies chironex fleckeri and alatina alata...some of the most venomous yet beautiful animals in the world

Welcome to the Unseen Ocean! Our all female team is bringing #deepsea #fineart and #science to international public venues in 2025-26. We believe that everyone should be shown the beauty of the #deep-sea and are committed to widening the scope of #scicomm! 🐡 #deepocean #marinebiology #art #coral

Got a little busy today with work, so a little bit of a cheat, but for #sciartseptember prompt niche we have the various animals that call the hydrothermal vents there home, each filling a paticular niche.

Catching up on some prompts for #sciartseptember Day 15, Spawning. Typically 7-10 days after the full moon numerous coral species (particularly around the GBR) will spawn and release thousands of eggs at night

Day 16: Rift #sciartseptember . Deep in the sea numerous species often call the numerous submarine canyons as home including the curious and adorable rattails

So pumped to be a part of this trailblazing art and science collective with @gsstudios907.bsky.social @highseas-sculpture.bsky.social and @planulara.bsky.social !! Stay tuned for some really cool upcoming work and events! #deepsea #deepseacreatures #deepocean #marinebiology #art

Beautiful little decorator crab coming to life! As a true blue maximalist I’m so drawn to these little guys covered in their excessive disguises- load it on, then load on more, then MORE AND MORE AND MORE! 😆 #deepsea #deepseacreatures #deepocean #decoratorcrab #acrylicpainting #art 🐡🦑

Hi all 🐙 I wanted to jump back into posting and introduce my Vampire squid! It has passed by earlier in reposts of @dsbsoc-arts.bsky.social But it kind of deserves a lot of attention, I think it's so pretty!! Hope you like it too! Kindly 💙 #squid #deepsea #oilpainting #sciart #marinebiology

What a captivating piece! 🌊 The seabed is like the universe's depths, much like in "The Abyss" where life thrives against all odds. 🪐📚 What's your favorite underwater story? #ArtAndScience

A reasearch cruise I participated in on @schmidtocean.bsky.social Falkor had an artist at sea, and her perspective, interest, and enthusiasm was a significant boon to the work we did. Don’t miss this opportunity!!

I don't know anything more about this, but boosting to #SciArt for people to check out.
