To celebrate NOAA’s 50th anniversary of the National Marine Sanctuary System, I was invited to illustrate a poster series showcasing the beauty and diversity of these remarkable ocean places. Each poster highlights a different sanctuary, capturing its unique ecosystems, wildlife, and cultural significance through a blend of vibrant illustration and scientific detail.

Created in collaboration with NOAA scientists and communicators, the series was designed to inspire public connection to our ocean and raise awareness of the importance of marine conservation. The posters have been widely shared by sanctuary partners, educators, and ocean advocates, becoming a visual centerpiece for outreach and celebration across the country. It’s been a privilege to help tell the story of our ocean through art.
