My Fish Filled Life and How I Became an Accidental Science Communicator

By Ray Troll, Artist and Imaginer

In person in the Izzie Abbott Boatworks Auditorium and via zoom

Monday April 3 at 7PM

Alaska artist Ray Troll will share the twists and turns of his unique aquatically inspired career as an artist and an educator, and how marine science came to be an important focal point for his unconventional body of work.

Settling in the rainswept, coastal town of Ketchikan, Alaska he began producing offbeat fish-inspired T-shirts that have gained him a global audience with anglers, cannery workers, commercial fishers and scientists around the world. His art has toured in major exhibitions at museums across the United States and overseas, and graces the rim of the former NOAA building in Pacific Grove.

He is also an avid musician on the side and has released four albums with his band the Ratfish.
