Jardin de l'Océan (Ocean Garden) is her latest series of kelp-related paintings inspired by a trip to France last summer. The large, arched canvases mirror the gilded cathedral windows of Paris. The paintings entice you into the lush, mesmerizing world of healthy kelp forests which Marie has come to love and is passionately determined to restore in California and around the planet.
