Bob Timmons is an active individual who has placed himself in the shoes of animals to feel the pain and witness the actions against them. There are many senseless and destructive acts occurring in the oceans that need to be exposed. He has been using his talent of painting to tell the stories visually and educate people who are unaware.

Passion is what art is all about and Bob’s art has not only changed his life and direction but it has helped change the lives of many individuals and animals. The paintbrush has become Bob’s weapon in the fight to change what is wrong and expose the truth to all. Human interactions directly and/or indirectly are stressing the growth of the inhabitants of the ocean. It has made Bob look at all the creatures within the ocean as endangered since the ocean itself is endangered. His aim is to empower minds to make choices for the next seven generations that will force positive impacts and hopefully reverse this process.

Scientists have stated the oceans are going to die by 2048 if we continue on the path we have created. The oceans are exposing symptoms of being sick by the results of over-fishing, acidification, coral reef decline, debris, and over 400 dead zones that keep spreading. This is affecting all living life on the planet and can easily be reversed by every individual taking responsibility for his or her actions.
