Meet Rookery Bay's New Featured Artist!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: I’m so excited to be partnering with Friends of Rookery Bay during the upcoming season and to have the opportunity to use my art to help them support the Rookery Bay Reserve. Lots of exciting projects will be happening over the next nine months, including ‘sea turtle’ and ‘Rookery Bay’ inspired collections that will be featured in their Nature Store, exhibitions and special receptions. 

First up: I am creating a large mural depicting our coastal treasure and the wildlife that call it home – I've already made quite a bit of progress! The "big reveal" will be Saturday, September 28 at their National Estuaries Day Celebration. This FREE event will include a touch tank, crafts, a documentary about Rookery Bay Reserve, live music, an art show, and displays from area environmental organizations. There will also be two food trucks, boat tours, kayaking, SUP and hands-on labs for junior scientists! (Space is limited so you should register at RookeryBay.org)

ALSO, be sure to follow me on Instagram and Facebook if you want to see daily updates on the mural!
