I became fascinated by sea turtles at an early age after witnessing a large number of baby sea turtles scurrying down a beach to the rolling waves early one morning in St. Lucia. They had just hatched and were now headed to the deep ocean. I remember thinking how tiny and venerable they were and now taking on such a dangerous solo journey called life. In these paintings, I tried to capture this exciting experience. I hope that my work can expose the beauty of sea turtles and awaken the viewer to loving and protecting this endanged species.

    Daniel Jean-Baptiste is a Caribbean artist of Dutch Jewish, African Kalinago Carib descent who resides in St. Lucia and Canada. His art focuses on underwater scenes, game fish and their prey, tropical botanical themes, and exotic animals. He was inspired by his childhood spent fishing in Choiseul and hopes to bring attention to the beauty of his island home through his artwork. He uses 10mm Habotai silk as his canvas and is the originator of the shimmering light water technique, which involves painting with liquid paints on wet silk using Sumi bamboo brushes. The finished product is water-resistant and vibrant due to the translucency and natural luster of the silk.
