Seahorse Greetings Card by Ben Rothery

This card features an exquisite painting of a Seahorse by wildlife illustrator and author Ben Rothery against a dark backdrop.  Ben’s work is inspired by nature and by traditional natural history illustration but presented with a contemporary twist.

Ben’s illustration shows a Yellow Seahorse, native to the coasts of China and Australia.  The British Isles are home to two species of Seahorse – the Spiny Seahorse and the Short-snouted Seahorse.  These tiny marine creates are fascinating – they pair for life, they change colour when they approach each other and in order to disguise themselves.  The female transfers eggs to the male, who self-fertilises them, carries them as they grow and gives birth to them!
