Ocean of Waste Online!!

Hello everyone, I wanted to provide people who were unable to attend my show a digital version so they could see what I created. I'm really proud of this series and glad to have been an artist in residence for SVdP of Alameda.
if you have any further questions about the work please contact Redux Studios.

Ocean of Waste Art Reception and Redux Gallery Grand opening!

Currently I am an Artist in Residence for St. Vincent de Paul in Oakland, CA. This center collects reclaimed materials from the community and finds new use for them. I have had the wonderful opportunity of being granted a studio at this location, where I was given free reign to roam through the many recycled items on their lot and create works of art from them.

The title of this show is called “Ocean of Waste,” as I wanted to emphasize on the drastic effect our trash on the ocean. The vast ocean seems to be the modern day junkyard with oil spills, off shore dumping, and plastic waste. This has had a dramatic effect, not only on the ocean wild life, but also on the planet itself. My goal is to creatively illustrate the vital relationship between people, waste, and the ocean.

Please join me in celebrating the Grand Opening of the new Redux Gallery/Studios and the reception for “Ocean of Waste.”
