I make basket sculptures out of ghost net and marine rope

As Ghost Net and Marine Rope have spent much of their life in the ocean they have a will of their own, this material moves the way that it wants to, and I am merely a conduit in it's transformative process of becoming something new. I use hand knotting and weaving to form the net and rope into basket sculptures which serve as multipurpose functioning tools for education and awareness.

I'll be sharing an interactive sculpture at the first ever earth and ocean festival

My Educational installation proposal was accepted, and I'll be utilizing ghost net to create a large scale interactive sculpture titled "We've Made Our Bed" which will be first shown during the Earth and Ocean Festival held in Cannon Beach OR. Sept 20th-22nd

Partnerships with Surfrider Kauai, Oregon Parks and Recreation, OSU Research, and Westport Marina provide me with the necessary materials which you see in the photos below.

I am becoming a certified diver

Since I can remember I've wanted to dive. My partner Christopher, a Professional Diver, having dove thousands of dives locally and around the world, inspires me constantly with stories of his experiences.

My need to see it all with my own eyes has been increasing, and after four explore scuba dives, I am taking classes to become certified.

I am thrilled to continue discovering the vast mysteries of the sea, side by side with a partner who's passions for life joyously live in my heart as well.

I write for the gabriel Report

There is a feeling you get when you are a part of a community. It's as though you've just walked through door of a potluck you were invited to via a friend of a friend, and you leave feeling full of delicious food, full of heart, and full of joy for the community you are now apart of.

Gabriel Report represents that for me. It is a gift of soul food from loving voices around the country and growing expansively as love grows in the hearts of those who read it, and then share it with their own communities.
I am so pleased to join the Gabriel Report and know together we will effectively widen our circles through love and mindfulness.

We have been working on a healing of our land and waterway project
