Below is an abstract piece of art which I created using acrylic paints and the bottom of a plastic bottle (which acted sort of like a stamp.) Enjoy!

Below is a wordle that I created especially for Turning the Tide using WordItOut.com, composed directly from words on the main page of the Turning the Tide website. If you look closely, the words sort of form a “wave” shape!

I took this photo while my family drove by Lake Ontelaunee in Berks County, Pennsylvania, a year or so ago. Truly, this shot encapsulates the clear, glistening water of the lake as it marvelously reflects the trees which peek over its banks. In similarity, when we reflect on the impact we’ve inflicted on the ocean, andContinue reading “When We Reflect…”

Simple fact: Art is everywhere! That was my thought process upon creating this piece of art using sand, in support of Turning the Tide’s mission. Using my finger, I “drew” in the sand, much like one would do if they were at the beach. Depicted is a plastic bottle and other debris floating on theContinue reading “Turning the Tide in Sand Art”

One day, as my Mom was preparing soup, a minor accident occurred as some broth unintendedly spilled on the counter. Amazingly, the untouched spill resembled that of a fish with bubbles above it and I quickly snapped a photo, admiring the phenemon, prior to it being cleaned.​ Much like this interesting fish pattern which resultedContinue reading “Spills Lead to Dead Zones”

The nations of the world (the globe figure), using the rod of “overfishing,” are depleting ocean life for the main purpose of sea food.  The World Wildlife FoundationContinue reading “Overfishing Political Cartoon”

The back tail is made from the plastic wrapper around one of the bottles, while the blue stripes are simply segments of blue painter’s tape. BeforeContinue reading “Creating a Plastic Bottle Fish”

This artwork, created in the MS Paint program, depicts just a few of the most devastating effects of plastic pollution on the world’s oceans. Drawn in a cartoonish-like style, it shows the human hand taking part in dumping plastic litter into the ocean – causing the destruction of the beauty of beaches and the oceanContinue reading “Pollution”

Through the SCUBA mask…..and into the ocean! Needless to say, the SCUBA mask is one of the most important pieces of gear for underwater exploration; giving humans the ability to dive into the ocean; a whole other amazing world filled with life. Beings that the main goal of this organization is to increase awareness aboutContinue reading “Using Art: Through the SCUBA Mask”
