Description of the Artwork “Sea Otters: Nautical Adventure”
This exquisite canvas invites viewers into a tranquil marine journey, where the calm waters of Moss Landing play host to a solitary fishing boat. Crafted with skilled acrylic techniques, the painting embodies the spirit of contemporary marine art. The depiction goes beyond the physical vessel, evoking feelings of adventure, solitude, and the subtle dialogue between humanity and the oceanic expanse. Through vibrant contrasts and delicate textures, the artist captures the fleeting moments of tranquility and the boundless freedom of the sea.

Vanessa Stafford, United States
I've been painting since 1967. I started as a studio painter, and used watercolors. I branched out to acrylic paint, as well as painting outdoor in the "plein air" style. I started painting outside, in the great outdoors, dazzled by “high adventure” as I battled the elements of weather. I bid for mural jobs: traffic signal cabinets. I've painted more than twelve cabinets for Santa Cruz. I was chosen to paint murals in Almaden Valley. In 2018 I had a solo exhibition at the County Building in Santa Cruz. The most recent “Pegasus” sculpture was chosen by Newberg, Oregon. My recent venture is sculpting with epoxy clay and plexiglass, and fiberglass. I enjoy fabricating sculptures with lights that shine from the inside of the sculpture through transparent areas. I designed a Pegasus with LED lights that shine from the inside out, through transparent plexiglass.
