After ten long New England winters, Billy Walsh finally realized he was ready to go back to his roots and follow his passion. He and his family returned home to the warm coastal waters of Florida, and it wasn’t long after their return that his artistic inspiration began to thaw out and reignite. He put the pencil to paper just as he did as a teenager inspired by fishing, snorkeling, and the artwork of the great sea life artists of the 90s. But this time something different was getting rendered on paper. He wasn't striving to make the fish look exactly like the fish looked in real life. He was noticing lighting, contrast, shapes, and prominent features that made the fish look like the fish without all the details. The artwork flowed naturally and he loved it, and others that saw it loved it too. He realized it was time to merge his entrepreneurial experience with his core passion. His inner shark was unleashed, and Shark Zen was born.

We bring you clean, yet edgy sea life designs; stylish color combinations that relate to the species' environment and characteristics; and the highest quality materials that go beyond simply fulfilling their functions. Shark Zen's products are meant to give you a unique experience, not normally offered to the fisherman, diver, or ocean goer away from the ocean.

We take it a step further by aiming to give children that life changing, zen-like experience when among an abundance of sea life. We use a portion of each sale to send children fishing, snorkeling, or paddle boarding for the first time.
