This Sea Turtle artwork is called "Pisces", inspired by the events of last year's coral spawn in the Florida Keys and celebrating the achievements of the Florida Aquarium's Center for Conservation team! During the spawn, Blake Wheeler and I had the opportunity to learn more about the aquarium's Center for Conservation , and their research with Florida corals! Over the last few years, Florida's coral reef tract, the third-largest in the world, has been losing it's remaining stony corals to a flesh-eating disease called "Stony Coral Tissue Loss" which quite literally causes the corals to rot.
Some early indicators point to the culprit being sewage leakage and general pollution from fertilizers and poisons. To save the last of the genetically distinct Atlantic Pillar Corals native to the keys, the CFC team partnered with the Keys Marine Lab , Mote Marine Lab and the Georgia Aquarium on a mission to capture the coral spawn, possibly one of the last, and to nurture the polyps into adults in facilities called Arks at the Apollo beach CFC location!
Throughout the ensuing nights, the biologists battled storms and false spawning, but ultimately succeeded in capturing both wild spawn and lab spawn, shown here! Note, all corals were handled under a p ermit; The Florida Aquarium works under a permit regulated by Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary that allows them as well as the other institutions involved, to interact and safely handle corals.
To fully capture the mystery, and the impact of this event, I wanted to paint a midnight scene lit by the full moon, which is when the coral all spawn together, like a snowstorm underwater. What's interesting about corals, and even the animals like sea turtles who inhabit these environments, they actually fluoresce and glow in the dark under certain lighting! Another connection with this "fluorescing" aspect, thanks to documentary Chasing Coral , is that corals are now known to fluoresce as a last-ditch effort to protect themselves from the sun once bleached, kind of like a temporary sunscreen.
However, the corals can only sustain this screen for so long, before they inevitably fade from fluorescing to slightly glowing, to disappearing. This movement from fluorescing to glow to disappearance is what I wanted to capture in this work with the use of the right lighting conditions. We love The Florida Aquarium and the research they are working on with the Center for Conservation to protect our wild heritage from disappearing!
