SeaLife Murals

Our Mission: David Dunleavy “SeaLife Murals” are designed to encourage people to go outside, explore and enjoy the great outdoor water world while treading lightly. Dunleavy’s SeaLife Murals influence people to go boating, take a kid fishing, teach children catch & release ethics and fish within regulations for sustainable fisheries for future generations. The “SeaLife Murals” are also designed to encourage people to go kayaking or try a SUP, and to feel the ultimate under water world experience go Scuba Diving or try snorkeling.

David Dunleavy “SeaLife Murals” are awe inspiring and have been drawing international attention to our water world for over 20 years. To date Dunleavy has completed 61 monumental life sized and larger than life murals depicting sharks, whale sharks, pelagic species, sea turtles, bird life, bears and other marine wildlife. It is estimated that over 600 million people a year view David Dunleavy “SeaLife Murals.”

“SeaLife Murals” serve as a gateway to exciting water world curiosity and have helped reshape public awareness about the importance of preservation. The impact and attention the “SeaLife Murals” command in communities is extraordinary, especially for any one who has never seen a giant painting of a shark or sea turtle anywhere but in a book or viewed on TV. The SeaLife Murals are painted life sized or larger than life to inspire appreciation for the wildlife & great outdoors.
