Wyland’s artworks have been featured as part of two Olympic Games, major stamp issues for the United Nations Postal Administration, and large-scale art projects, including a mile-long marine life mural installation at the U.S. National Mall. He has hosted numerous television programs: including the series, “Wyland’s Ocean World, ” on the Discovery Channel’s Animal Planet Network, an hour-long documentary, “Wyland: A Brush With Giants”, and his current series for American Public Television, “Wyland’s Art Studio”. His non-profit, Wyland Foundation, has set the standard for environmental outreach, using art, science, and community events to inspire children and families around the world to become caring, informed stewards of our oceans, rivers, lakes, estuaries, and wetlands. Now, with Wyland’s first fiction novel, he hopes to continue to inspire a new audience of readers with the engaging Adventures of Sea Walker and his quest to create a better world.
