Ode to the Moon Jelly

The moon jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) also called the common jellyfish, moon jelly or saucer jelly is almost entirely translucent and can be recognized by its four horseshoe-shaped gonads.

Lifestyle & Art

Moon jellyfish, ethereal and fair,

Drifting through the depths, a ballet in air.

Translucent bodies, a delicate grace,

Invisible currents guide your embrace.

Moonlit tendrils, trailing behind,

A dance of beauty, nature's design.

Gentle pulsations, rhythmic and slow,

In the tranquil sea's ebb and flow.

Mysteries hidden in your gelatinous form,

A testament to life's diverse norm.

X-RAY MAG: Tell us about yourself, your background and how you became an artist.

OL: From a young age, I found it easier to explore the world and my ideas through images rather than words. After graduating with a fine arts degree, I found my interest and concern for the natural world finding its way into the drawings I made.

Entering one of my drawings into a local art competition was the catalyst to an unexpected career, and this year, I count myself very fortunate to mark 10 years as a full-time artist.
