Maria D. Maldonado, a talented artist in many mediums, has enjoyed making
art since childhood. The Maldonado Family began their conservation efforts early on including The Whale's Tale
which contributed to the Save The Whales Movement in the 70's. A family highlight pictured below, Maria gives Jacque
Cousteau one of their silk screened t-shirts.
