Pygmy seahorse painting

We’re thrilled to present a new artwork by Ingrid Wildlines, Inspired by #IconicFishes.

With her deep love for the ocean and an upcoming research fellowship on marine invertebrates, she beautifully highlights the pygmy seahorse, a tiny creature that spends its life hidden among gorgonian corals.

So well camouflaged, this species was only discovered in 1969, by accident!

Ingrid’s piece reflects the connection between art, science, and emotion. Her work serves as a powerful reminder of how art and curiosity can grow into a deeper commitment to protecting our iconic fishes.

You too can join the movement!
