KEY LARGO, Florida Keys — Acclaimed environmental artist and conservationist Wyland is to paint the 95th in a planned series of 100 mammoth marine life murals, known as Whaling Walls, Feb. 1-12 in Key Largo. The public is welcome to visit the site, at mile marker 99.2 on U.S. 1, to watch Wyland paint, learn about his environmental initiatives and view a collection of his artwork. The mural, the last wall Wyland intends to paint in the United States, is to showcase North America’s only living contiguous barrier coral reef, which parallels the Keys. The painting is to wrap completely around the building at the location and be visible to all driving into and out of the Florida Keys. For more than 25 years Wyland has used his art to increase awareness about the need to preserve the world’s marine environment. A part-time Keys resident, Wyland says he draws ongoing inspiration for his art from diving on the island chain’s reef. “I’ve been diving in the Florida Keys for over 20 years, and this is some of the best diving in the world,” he said. A dedication ceremony for the Key Largo Whaling Wall is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 12. For more information, visit www.wylandkeywest.com or call (800) 469-3069 Monday through Friday.
