Collaborations and Events

I have been working on this project in collaboration with the non-profit, Oyster River Ecology, aiming to spread knowledge and awareness regarding the need for continued restoration of our waterways and our oyster reefs.

“LIV(IN)G Estuary” will be shown at multiple Gallery Spaces in the Tampa Bay Area, including the Tully Levine Gallery and the Brenda McMahon Art Gallery. In addition to the exhibition, in connection with Oyster River Ecology, I will be co-facilitating Oyster Rag Pot (ORP) Community Creation events, where I will invite/involve volunteers in our community to come together to create artificial ORP's to assist with Oyster Reef restoration efforts.

I will be creating and donating ORP's myself that are inspired by my own artistic style, that will be shown during the exhibition, and then assist in the planting of them, plus the community led ORPs, into our waterways for documentation.
