From the artist:
"I have always been crafty and when I first saw a piece of scrimshaw, I was intrigued.  I tried my hand at it and instantly knew I had found what I was meant to do! I have always been fascinated by the ocean, especially tall ships.  Scrimshaw is traditional a nautical artform so I began with tall ships then expanding my designs over the years to include lighthouses, mermaids, flowers and so much more!"
