Diver’s Story By Kassy Keppol

Artist Kassy Keppol designed Diver’s Story to tell the story of the friendship between a girl and her friend Porter. Across Porter’s body there are ten storybook picture panels showing different scenes of things they might be doing together. The picture panels are framed and connected with beautifully created faux batik and henna designs, richly colored like the depths of the ocean. The whimsical scenes are meant to draw the eye in to experience the colors and patterns.

Through her artist's lens, she captures moments of intimacy between divers and sea lions, inviting audiences to experience the magic of the ocean firsthand.

Through art and storytelling, Kassy Keppol's Diver's Story celebrates the beauty of marine life and the profound connections that bind us together.
