LIVE art [BY Jem.]

Photography by Jemma Darlington

The above painting was created as a Live art piece for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society fundraiser, Ocean's Rhapsody at Melba's on the Gold Coast.

This above picture is of the half completed piece, and features a Minke Whale, a specied which is the main target of the illegal whaling activities within the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.

Funds raised from the auction of this painting (when completed featured contributions from Sea Shepherd crew members answering the question "What does the sea mean to you?') went straight into Sea Shepherd's 9th Antarctic whale defence campaign, Operation Zero Tolerance.
