"Light Workers" Mural Art
About this mural:
More information for this mural can be found here: https://seawalls.org/mural/light-workers-the- For this mural I have chosen to highlight the issue of shark-finning happening off the shores of Nusa Penida, Indonesia, which is now the number one country in the world for the exporting of sharks and shark fins. According to a recent global National Geographic study, it is estimated that annually, humans kill over 100 million sharks- a number that far exceeds any population’s ability to recover.

San Diego based artist Marissa Quinn creates intensely detailed and intricate pen and ink drawings, based on personal visions and dream states. Her work narrates the cyclical stories of extinction and growth in nature. Quinn’s dramatic compositions seem to be caught in space and time, in states of either transformation or adaptation to current biospheric changes in our Earth.
Quinn lives and creates in San Diego, California. She obtained both her Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art (BFA) and her Master's Degree in Fine Art (MFA) from Azusa Pacific University in California and holds a position as Adjunct Professor of Art at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, California.
