In the May of 2021, I participated in the world famous drawing challenge MerMay. The challenge was to paint one mermaid every day, But since I live in this amazing island, surrounded by places that feels like you could really spot mermaids, I decided to travel around Okinawa and paint the mermaids outside on the actual beaches. I wanted to show the different characteristics of the beaches through the paintings, while using the official key words of the MerMay challenge. Did you spot your favorite beach?:) You can see more about the making of the mermaids, check out my YouTube videos of “the Mermaid Challenge on Okinawa” (link below^^)
