Mission Statement

A Portrait of the Visual Arts in Canada, is intended to celebrate the richness of Canada's visual arts, and to promote the arts in Canada.

Statement of Intent

I make every effort to credit the sources of information used in this blog and to obtain the permission and cooperation of all the works presented by living artists. I try, as much as possible to use works from public sources eg. national and provincial collections, of deceased artists. If for any reason, any artist disapproves of anything written about them or their work the artist is encouraged to request withdrawal of the content.

We’re always looking for new volunteers. If you’re interested, please see our Volunteers & Internships page.

Our volunteers and contributors include amazing marine life photographers, marine biology students and many marine biologists (both academic and field biologists) who help out with the specific issues they specialize in (e.g. coral reefs, cephalopods, etc.). We also have marine biologists who help answer questions at our Facebook Group.

Would you like to be added or do you have changes (e.g., photos) to your information below? Email us anytime

“I have been fascinated with the underwater world ever since I saw my first Sea Hunt episode at age 5. Now I travel the world capturing Marine images with the hope of inspiring others to respect and enjoy the Ocean and to enlighten folks of the importance of Ocean Conservation.”

Kevin’s Photos have been on several covers and in articles for The San Clemente Journal and
