it’s amazing how the work you create and take months to make gets packed in 3 hours in special #international #crates ready to ship overseas this was a marvel to watch experts doing this for years pack up the work #professionally for several of my #artcollectors I am honored to have a brilliant #international #following it makes me #inspired to make more #artwork and reminds me why I love doing what I do since the age of 14 It’s one thing being an #artist and another thing being an #entrepreneur but I love learning everything about this #artbuisness everyday from all of the wonderful and amazing people who have been a part of it for #centuries and #years ! I cant wait for these various works to reach their new #homes so I can share pictures of them with you of them installed up on their walls! I love that most of my collectors are avid #divers or just love the oceans and those who don’t have learnt to love our planet because of the work I make. #humbled #marineconservationart #artbyjanavimahimturafolmsbee #janavimahimturafolmsbee @janavimfolmsbee (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp22kDYpzly/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

the marvels of #internationalcrating here are some beautiful #custom made crates with the specially #treated woot for international shipping the art is suspended in the crate and attached to the back of the crate! it’s absolutely brilliant and the work doesn’t touch anything on the front or the sides! it is pure innovation and I loved seeing everything taken cared of so well and efficiently! it is a pleasure to work with #professionals and to take care of my #collectors and clients needs. I am extremely excited to share this journey and how everything goes into the art making process and #entrepreneurlife from start to finish till the work arrives in its new #country and home!! #contemporaryart #janavimahimturafolmsbee #houstonart #houstonartist (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpyZwcspWfi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sea Stars are a big part of our underwater world and a big part of our global connective. The same sea stars we see in the Mesophotic depths of the #flowergardenbanksnationalmarinesanctuary are located in the Indian Ocean and our waters are interconnected through us and our marine species. The COP15 is taking place and The conversation of Biodiversity is at the forefront of our future for our oceans. Here you see my work portraying a little scene from our marine sanctuary off our Texas coast in the Gulf. Lets work together to remember our actions matter and what we do matters. It is an honor to be selected as one of seven global influencers by @AdobeGenCreate @adobe & @UNOceanDecade @ioc_unesco #CreateWaves #OceanDecade #COP15 #Adobepartner #   #janavimfolmsbee #janavimahimturafolmsbee #marineconservation #marineconservationartist #scubadiving #marinelife #conservation #oceanlife #blueplanet #houstonartist made with @adobeexpress @photoshop #oilpainting @flowergardenbanksnms @marinesanctuaryfdn @noaasanctuaries (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmkDJ91pPcz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
