"One hundred miles out to sea
the beauty is phenomenal.
It's magical. It's mysterious."
- Kovel

This place - the deep ocean - is the inspiration for the work of Kovel, who once sold his tuna catches commercially, is today an artist who brings a unique vision to his art, inspired by life in the world's oceans. He is a voice for the fish and marine life, whose habitats are rapidly shifting out of balance. He works in wood, steel, styrofoam, aluminum, plexiglass, wire - a multitude of materials - to create everything from huge fish mounted on the walls a public school and a major marine aquarium, to small whimsical sea creatures + jewelry.
