Guy helping local island kids with their paints
On February 2nd, Guy Harvey and Wyland met up in Guy’s home country the Cayman Islands to collaborate on a mural in front of the Guy Harvey Gallery & Shoppe. Proceeds from the sale of the mural will be donated to the Cayman Island Turtle Farm’s release program that is helping to replenish the Green Sea Turtle stock. During the event Wyland and Guy also worked together to help teach local island kids some of the finer points of marine art.

Guy Harvey and Wyland are the world’s most famous marine artists, but their similarities don’t stop there. They share a passion for the ocean and for educating the world about important ocean issues through their art, their foundations (Wyland Foundation and Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation) and through their many business and personal activities.

Both are world class divers and Wyland was inducted into the SCUBA Diving Hall of Fame last week. Guy is also a world-renowned angler and was inducted into the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame last fall.
I am blessed to call each of them my friend. They both possess many wonderful talents and traits, but the fact that they admire each other’s work, are friends and speak highly of each other is unique.
In this competitive “me first” world of “I am better than you”, it is a beautiful thing to see the world’s two most talented marine artists working together so closely for the benefit of the world’s oceans and the creatures who call it home.
