I'm an illustrator and character designer. I love everything nautical, and I'm a blogger.

I volunteer at an aquarium and my current favorite thing to do is exhibit interpreting. I especially enjoy talking to guests about the green morays because they have quite the personality. So I decided to draw one of them because he's a confident little (but not really that little) punk 😆 #merman #mermaid #ocean #mermen #art #mermaidlife #mermaids #georgiaaquarium #underwater #drawing #mermaidtail #sirensong #thelittlemermaid #mermanlife #siren #littlemermaid #mermaidsarereal #mermaidscales #digitalart #illustration #artist #digital #digitalpainting #artistsoninstagram #sketch #procreate #gallery #digitalartist #digitaldrawing #oc https://www.instagram.com/shipwrecksamantha/p/Bvz7kaDHv2F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wx61bcgdxxec

Hello all! I wanted to give you a little update. I traveled a lot in January (Florida, New York, and Kentucky over three different weekends). And so I haven't had the time to edit my drawings to post them. (The photo featured is me being reunited with a joey I helped raise during my time as a zookeeper) In addition to this, I'm experimenting with a new brand entirely separate from Shipwreck Samantha. Which means I'm playing around with the idea of making @shipwrecksamantha my fun account where I share adventures and WIPs and personal art and things like that. And focus on a specific look for my brand. There's a lot of things in the works to figure out. I appreciate all of your patience! https://www.instagram.com/p/BteuBD2He8B/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a2h0pi92mb03

To me, it is very freeing when I can spend time with my thoughts and record them on my computer. #writer #amwriting #storywriter #artist #creator #contentcreator #blog #blogger #bloggerstyle #novelist https://www.instagram.com/p/BtJYWW_FJjj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jl37foejrigg

This drawing is a bit old, but I still love it, because it's when my current style started to form. Sorry for my lack of posting the past few days. I've been on a winter wonderland adventure much farther north than I'm used to. But exciting things are coming soon. So stay tuned! #artistsoninstagram #arts_spotlight #artspotlight #artdrawingspotlight #whale #whaletail #humpbackwhale #humpbackwhales #oceanart #oceanartist #marinelife #sealife #waterislife #waterlife #underthesea #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #illustrator #digitalart #digitalartist #digitalartists https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs1yUhAlc6e/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1zxpt2rp585k

Good morning everyone! I have a question for you I would love to know the answer to. How can I improve my account for you? What type of art do you want to see more of? Would you guys like to see more work in progress, or glimpses into things I like to do, etc? Or do you guys like when I just post finished pieces? I really appreciate your feedback, and I hope you have a wonderful day! #help #arthelp #artadvice #instagramhelp #question #opinion #naturephoto https://www.instagram.com/p/BsseiHole2e/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1su0d1pp7k4yl

I very much like this improved version of my cuddling otters with a different background.

I really love this revisited version of my witch watercolor piece. I know it's after Halloween, but I love Halloween things any time of the year!
