New Art Exibit at Aquarium Celebrates Ocean, Marine Life

FROM PLAYFUL DOLPHINS to awe-inspiring sharks, a new art exhibit at the Aquarium of the Pacific is filled with ocean-themed paintings by John Enright inspired by his animal encounters in Hawaiian waters. The art exhibit will be on view at the Aquarium from Aug. 19 through Oct. 30 on the second floor landings outside the entrances to the Tropical and Northern Pacific Galleries. John Enright hopes that viewers of his artwork are inspired to become ocean stewards and protect marine life from pollution. He began painting seascapes and images of marine life after moving to Hawaii and encountering animals like whales, sharks and sea turtles as a diver.
