About the event
Vida La Aqua: A Celebration of Coastal and Underwater Worlds brings together the work of artists Thomas Hardcastle and Carmen Lamp, whose shared passion for the ocean reveals the beauty, power, and serenity of aquatic life. Hardcastle’s vivid underwater compositions immerse viewers in the movement and mystery beneath the surface, while Lamp’s pastel seascapes capture the luminous meeting of water and light along the shore. Together, their works invite reflection on the fragile and awe-inspiring ecosystems that sustain life along our coasts and seas.
