Organized by

Nature has always guided me and that’s how I became a marine ecologist 15 years ago; I thought I would help the planet. But it is through my upcycling creations and my paintings that I feel like I am making a difference. And now I want to teach people how to upcycle their own items so we can reduce waste together on a bigger scale.
