bushrangers bay

Grey nurse sharks have the kind of toothy grin that makes your heart race — but they’re actually surprisingly gentle. This illustration is set in Bushrangers Bay, NSW, where these beautiful sharks are regular visitors.

Each year, snorkelers and scuba divers head out in hopes of catching a glimpse of them cruising calmly through the water. I love how this spot feels like a secret little pocket of ocean magic — quiet, wild, and full of life.

Drawing these two was such a joy — a little tribute to a misunderstood species and a very special place.
