JL Daeschler, one of our astute commenters on offshore safety issues, is a subsea engineer with vast international experience. He holds patents for seabed drilling templates and subsea control systems, and has worked all over the world on offshore projects.
JL is also an accomplished artist who has exhibited in Paris, le Havre, Singapore, Houston, Edinburgh, and Calgary. He works mainly with acrylics, and his preferred subjects are boats, maritime scenes, harbors and the working environment associated with the sea.
Sometime he combines his interests. “Waiting on Weather” (below) was published in a book about North Sea oil development. Below that are an impressionistic offshore platform painting, an extraordinary coastal sunset scene that my wife really liked, and one of JL’s exciting America’s Cup paintings. Click on any of the paintings for enlarged images.
Mr. Daeschler was raised in France, has traveled the world, and currently lives on the coast of Scotland.
