Artwork Description

This is a aerial view what the ocean might look like near one of the great ocean garbage patch. The white plastics mixing with the white of the tops of the waves, and the coloured plastic much more visible. There are plastics floating around since the 1950's most have lost a lot of their colour, some haven't, but the worst of being red to look like potential food for the poor migrating /sea birds.

Artist Bio

Computer programmer for years, and love the creative process in coding software. However no one gets to see this creative process so have gone back to art. The last few years I have been looking for the best medium for me, and I think I have settled on 2 so far. I originally started with sketching and do like to sketch with graphite pencil. I've now also included Textile Art/Fabric Art. My inspiration is Bisa Butler, who creates life size pieces using American Black History. My calling is pop culture and comic book references. I've scoured a few 1960's Romance Comic Books as reference as well as using some of my own photographs of animals and things around me..
