Wyland
Marine Life Artist
The Wyland Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization founded in 1993 by environmental marine
life artist Wyland, is dedicated to promoting, protecting,
and preserving the world’s oceans, waterways, and
marine life. The foundation encourages environmental
awareness through education programs, life-size public
arts projects, and community events.
Undoubtedly, one of the greatest tools in the effort
to protect our water planet is knowledge. Wyland’s
art has the unique ability to transform all who view it
to a greater awareness. By bridging the worlds of art
and science, the Wyland Foundation strives to inspire
people of all ages to become better stewards of our
oceans and precious water resources. The future of
our planet is in the hands of our children. The Wyland
Foundation strives to inspire as many people as
possible to learn more about our oceans and aquatic
habitats and the life within them, and to encourage
people to get involved.
One person can indeed
make a difference.
