Comments: This print is inspired by a recent visit to the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon. Among all of the wonderful things to see, the most prominent feature is Ursula, the giant Pacific octopus. Ursula engaged her visitors in an intelligent and energetic manner, seeming just as curious about us as we were about her. I was most taken with her writhing body, large eyes, the texture of her skin and multiple suction cups on her tentacles. What a delightful and amazing creature!
