Artist's Comments

I was really surprised to find this Red Abalone down in Southern California. Although I wasn't really looking for them, I have found only 3 abalone in the last 5 years in Southern California. They are quite rare now (in the south) because they have been overfished over the years and their populations have been impacted dramatically (they are not even close to being how big they used to grow to). They are protected now and are not allowed to be taken out of their environment. [Haliotis rufescens]
