CASSIE ANDERSON

As a dive professional working in the industry for over 5 years, I’ve been lucky enough to have many ‘once in a life time’ ocean experiences, which have had a huge impact on my life by continually reigniting my love for the ocean. More recently I’ve progressed into turning these ocean memories into art.

I love being able to show the beauty of below through this medium, whether that’s bringing awareness about the creatures I paint or bringing dive memories back to life. These intimate experiences of being underwater have shown me different perspectives of the ocean, because as I paint, I can see intricate details and patterns of species up close, that maybe I would miss when actually diving. By portraying the ocean this way to others, I hope that one day they can get inspired to dive in and feel that same inner peace that the ocean has given me.
