Among the Seals

Best Time to See:

Anytime

Among the Seals invites visitors to experience what it might feel like to be surrounded by life-size harbor seals. I hope to create a sense of wonder and connection with wildlife, allowing people to experience these beautiful creatures up close in a way they might not otherwise have the opportunity to.

Artist Statement:

My husband and I love watching animal documentaries and learning about wildlife from all over the world. Through Among the Seals, I want to give people the opportunity to experience what it might feel like to be in the presence of animals they may never encounter in person. By bringing life-size harbor seals into an unexpected setting, I hope visitors will slow down, take a moment of silence, and feel a connection with the natural world.
