An Art Exhibition for Ocean Month

“The key to saving our planet is saving our oceans.” 

— David Attenborough

Join us for an immersive art experience inspired by the powerful beauty—and vulnerability—of our blue planet, hosted by muralist and painter Emily Read. 

Our oceans are in crisis

Coral reefs are vanishing. 

Plastic fills our seas. 

Marine species face extinction. 

Many people are disconnected from nature.

Without action, the ocean could be lost.

 Water Born is a solo art exhibition by Emily Read, a Canadian muralist and fine artist, that reconnects us to the ocean through visual storytelling, hands-on creation, and collective hope. 

From large-scale oil paintings to delicate watercolours, each piece is a call to remember our connection to water—and to protect it. 

Emily Read is a professional award winning artist based in Montreal with over a decade of experience creating nature-inspired murals around the world. Water Born reflects her upbringing in a lake-rich region.
