My father was a fisherman. My grandfather was also a fisherman. My other grandfather, a boat builder. I personally feel had I inherited my father or grandfathers fishing boat, that right now it is easier to make a living as an artist than a fisherman. For me, this is a very sad commentary on the state of our marine environment.\u003cbr\u003eUpon the death of my parents, I made a boat for their ashes and buried them at sea, something like a contemporary Viking funeral. I also made a boat for my best friend and former partner of 24 years, again burying them at sea. \u003cbr\u003eWhat I am attempting to do is to take something that was personally extremely painful and turn it into something beautiful.\"\u003cbr\u003eLearn more about Steve \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/stevejensenstudios.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ghost Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46154115743935,"sku":null,"price":3500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/7084\/0511\/files\/IMG_AE12F8CD14AB-1.jpg?v=1788652782","url":"https:\/\/ghostgallery.org\/products\/steve-jensen-ghost-ship","provider":"Ghost Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
