DANA POINT, Calif. – The Ocean Institute is pleased to welcome Laguna Beach artist and educator Karen Talbot (visit www.karentalbotart.com) for its next Artist by the Sea Kids presentation on Saturday, November 14, 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Due to her popularity, Karen is returning for her second presentation; her first visit was in June.
Talbot is a surfer, diver, angler and artist who, with brush or pen in hand, depicts the lives of marine creatures living in a tidepool, rocky reef or kelp forest. Children will work side-by-side with the artist to see firsthand how these animals’ amazing adaptations make them both fun to draw as well as to observe.
The cost is $16, or two children for $26 (parents must accompany children during the art session). Includes admission to the Institute for one adult and one child and all needed art materials.
The Artist by the Sea – Kids series is an outgrowth of the popular Artist by the Sea series that brings ocean-themed artists to the Institute to educate the public about the beauty of our oceans and encourage them to be good stewards of our ocean environment. To make a reservation for the presentation above, visit www.ocean-institute.org or call (949) 496-2274.
