Did You Know?
Sea turtles cannot retract into their shells, and instead of feet, they have flippers designed for swimming!
With every piece I create, my goal is not only to inspire and entertain but also to educate—embedding fascinating facts like these directly into my artwork.
For this Sea Turtle piece, I carefully selected words like cold-blooded, seven species, and hatchlings, along with phrases such as “can sleep underwater,” “do not have teeth,” and “mistake plastic bags for jellyfish.” In total, you’ll find over 25 words and phrases hidden within the design, each one revealing more about these incredible creatures.
Every piece of my art is digitally hand-drawn, one letter at a time, with no word or phrase ever repeated. Depending on the complexity, each artwork takes between 6 and 60 hours to complete.
I truly hope this piece brings you as much joy as I had in creating it!
