The underwater artist, who is married to 50-year-old Craig Harper, said: "I started mermaiding years ago when I did free-diving. "I was the mermaid that first swam into Newquay and infected the water and since then mermaid spores have turned everyone. "There are lots and lots of mermaids but I think what makes Mischief the Mermaid, and Cornish mermaids, unique, is that we actually do it in the ocean with the swell and the rips. "The wave of mermaid magic is happening, the mermaids are assembling.
