Presentation Abstract

Without zooplankton and phytoplankton, most of which is invisible, the Salish Sea would die. With the paintings in my Plankton series, I'm striving to create awareness of the crucial importance and beauty of these organisms. If we can't see something, we tend not to care about it. And we need to start caring about plankton. You can see the paintings in my Importance of Plankton series on my website bloodstargallery.com
