Art Meets Ocean Science for Kids | Spokane News

Meghan Jones, a former fiber artist turned painter, is blending her childhood love of science with her artistic passion to inspire kids to explore the deep sea—through her new book, “The Unusual Ocean: Who Lives in the Deep?” Featuring stunning illustrations of mysterious deep-sea creatures and quotes from real ocean explorers, the book aims to turn fear into fascination and show young readers that science and art can—and should—go hand in hand. Jones, who once felt forced to choose between the two, now champions interdisciplinary curiosity, even co-founding the Unseen Ocean Collective to use art to reveal the ocean’s hidden wonders. She’ll be reading the book this Sunday at Auntie’s Bookstore—and hopes to spark a new generation of ocean stewards, ROV pilots, and dreamers.
