A park visit can spark more than an afternoon of play. This mural on the Oregon coast still has us thinking about how art can inspire people to get to know the place they call home. 🌊

At Schooner Creek Discovery Park in Lincoln City, Oregon, artist Jeremy Nichols (Jeremy Nichols) transformed the Entry Plaza into a vibrant celebration of life where land and water meet.

Spread wings, shimmering fish, butterflies, a crab, and an elk…there’s plenty to discover on both sides of this wall. Against glowing yellows, oranges, and pinks, Jeremy brings the coast’s wildlife into the spotlight.

Look closer, and the artwork offers a reminder: these animals share a landscape that connects forest, creek, estuary, and ocean. Estuaries, where freshwater meets saltwater, provide important feeding grounds for birds and sheltered places for young fish to grow. Caring for the coast means caring for those connections, too.

With the Cascade Head Biosphere Reserve nearby, the surrounding ecology helped inform the creative process. PangeaSeed ™ connected Jeremy with local experts to explore Lincoln City’s wildlife, coastal character, and community before he brought it all together in his signature style.
From the first layers of paint to the finished mural, these photos show how a welcoming public space can also become a starting point for discovery. Come for the playground, leave curious about the neighbors with wings, fins, and antlers.

Big thanks to Jeremy, Explore Lincoln City, Lincoln City Parks & Rec, and everyone who helped make this project possible.

Today, we’re revisiting one of our favorite community education murals created this year and taking a deep dive into the ocean’s twilight zone. 🌊

“Mesopelagic” by Dcypher_dtrcbs x plastickotetears brings the deep ocean to the streets of downtown Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand, inviting passersby to explore a world usually hidden beneath the waves.

Imagine descending 200 to 1,000 meters below the surface. Sunlight fades, pressure builds, and you enter the mesopelagic zone: a vast, mysterious habitat filled with extraordinary marine life.

And things get busy after dark. Many twilight zone animals travel toward the surface to feed at night, then return to deeper waters during the day. These daily journeys help move carbon into the deep ocean, connecting the lives of tiny creatures to the health of our planet.

Developed with Earth and marine scientist Joyce Yager, this mural turns a city wall into an outdoor ocean classroom. Its cross section maps the ocean’s layers, using species, depth measurements, and visual clues to make the science accessible to anyone walking past.

That’s the power of public art: a moment of curiosity on your daily commute can become a whole new connection to the ocean and a reason to care for what lives below.

Take a closer look. What creature or detail catches your eye first? 👀

🐙 CELEBRATE WORLD OCTOPUS DAY! UMI IS LIVE!

The PangeaSeed ™ team are celebrating one of the ocean’s most extraordinary creatures with a brand-new Printed Oceans release from returning artist Scott Listfield!

Meet UMI, a thought-provoking glimpse into a future where rising seas blur the boundaries between our world and the ocean, and an octopus finds an unexpected new place to call home.

Octopuses are remarkable problem-solvers, masters of camouflage, and important members of marine food webs. But the ecosystems they depend on are increasingly threatened by warming waters, pollution, and climate change.

Scott’s artwork invites us to imagine a changing world and consider a simple question: What kind of ocean are we leaving behind?

To celebrate World Octopus Day, we’re releasing UMI in two beautiful, signed and numbered limited editions:

🐙 UMI by Scott Listfield
* Regular Edition of 50 | 16 × 16 inches
* Variant Edition of 25 | 24 × 24 inches
* Fine art printing by Sᴛᴀᴛɪᴄ Mᴇᴅɪᴜᴍ Pʀɪɴᴛ & Pʜᴏᴛᴏ

AVAILABLE NOW at shop.pangeaseed.org

Every purchase helps support PangeaSeed’s ocean conservation and educational outreach efforts around the world.

Eight arms. One ocean. A future worth protecting.

A look at “The Choice,” a new mural by artist Tracie Ching (Tracie Ching) for the Off The Table (Off the Table) campaign in Manhattan, produced and revealed in time for New York Climate Week.
 
The artwork explores the choices we make at the table and their impact beyond it, encouraging viewers to take a closer look at ocean-farmed salmon and consider why so many chefs, restaurants, and diners are choosing to take it Off The Table to help protect wild salmon.
 
worked with the team to help bring the project from brief to final artwork, leading artist curation and coordination, creative direction, and the design process with Tracie. It was a detailed collaboration and it’s rewarding to finally see the work translated from screen to wall.

🐙 World Octopus Day is almost here, and we’re celebrating with new art for the ocean.

This Thursday, renowned artist Scott Listfield returns to ’s Printed Oceans with UMI, a new limited-edition release imagining a future where rising seas have begun to blur the boundaries between our world and theirs.

Octopuses play an important role in marine food webs, both as predators and as prey for other ocean wildlife. But like so much marine life, the ecosystems they depend on are being reshaped by warming waters, pollution, ocean acidification, and other human-driven pressures.

UMI, meaning “ocean” in Japanese, asks us to consider that changing relationship and a simple question: What kind of ocean are we leaving behind?

Two very limited signed and numbered editions, included the featured XL variant, drop Thursday, October 8 at 12 PM PST, in celebration of World Octopus Day.

🌊🎨 Art can make us stop, look closer, and care. For species at risk, that connection can be powerful.

Today is World Animal Day, and we’re celebrating the artists who help give threatened wildlife a creative voice bringing their beauty, vulnerability, and stories into view.

Through ’s Printed Oceans program, artists transform ocean conservation issues into original artworks and fine art print editions. Each work invites us to discover the life beneath the surface, understand the pressures animals face, and consider our role in protecting their future.

A painting can spark curiosity about an unfamiliar species. A print on your wall can start a conversation that keeps its story alive. And that connection can inspire action beyond the artwork.

Swipe through for original works created for Printed Oceans. These artists remind us how much there is to love and how much we stand to lose.

You can help keep this work going. Purchasing a print directly supports PangeaSeed’s art and education programs, helping us bring attention to species at risk, build ocean literacy, and inspire communities to protect the animals and habitats that need us.

Bring a little ocean inspiration into your home and help its impact reach further.

Ever feel like you’re trying to keep your head above water when you read the climate news? 🌊

This original artwork by Matley, created for ’s recent Rising Tides fundraising exhibition at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco, brings that feeling into focus. A face rises through currents of vibrant color…a powerful starting point for a conversation about climate anxiety.

As devastating fires, floods, and warming seas fill our feeds, it can be hard to know where to put the fear, grief, and frustration. What can any one of us do? Where do we even begin?

You don’t have to carry those questions alone. Connecting with others creates space to share what we’re feeling and find ways to contribute.

Here are a few places to start:

🌱 Choose one action you can return to. Volunteer with a local conservation group, help restore a coastal habitat, or contribute your skills to a community climate project. Start with something that fits your capacity.

🤝 Find your people. Invite a friend to join you. Talk honestly about what worries you. Shared purpose gives us somewhere to bring both our concerns and our ideas.

📣 Help shape bigger decisions. Contact your elected representatives, participate in local planning meetings, and advocate for clean energy and healthy oceans. Our voices matter beyond our individual habits.

🌊 Make room to recharge. Take breaks from the news. Spend time outdoors. Make art. Rest is part of sustaining your ability to care and participate.

At PangeaSeed, we believe art can give difficult feelings a place to land and open a door to connection, conversation, and action. Huge thanks to Matley for contributing his creativity to this shared effort.

You don’t need to feel hopeful every day to make a meaningful contribution. Choose a place to begin, and let’s keep showing up for each other and our blue planet.

Eight arms and one ocean.🐙

We’re excited to welcome renowned artist Scott Listfield back to PangeaSeed ™ for our latest Printed Oceans release, UMI, dropping October 8 in celebration of World Octopus Day.

In Scott’s unmistakable world, a lone astronaut encounters something unexpected at the water’s edge: a weathered ocean buoy that appears to have found a new resident. Perched on top, an octopus quietly surveys the scene, bringing a little curiosity, humor, and mystery to this surreal meeting of land, sea, and space.

UMI will be available in two signed and numbered limited editions, printed by our longtime partners at Static Medium.

Dropping Thursday, October 8 at 12 PM PST via shop.pangeaseed.org

Stay tuned for the full reveal and edition details.

A title that puts a person beside the sea can make you wonder about the space between them.

ericarosey’s “Old Man and the Sea” invites us to linger in that space. The ocean can feel familiar and unknowable at once. We bring our own stories to it, while its life and rhythms carry on far beyond us.

Created for Between the Sea & Me, our exhibition with Europa Gallery / Europa Events, LLC., this artwork asks a question we keep returning to at : How does our relationship with the ocean change when we take the time to look and listen?
