Creativity for Conservation, Events, Exhibitions
WORKING TOGETHER TO SAVE AUSTRALIAN WILDLIFE
We need to take actions NOW toward saving and protecting endangered wildlife, to ensure that future generations can enjoy them.
Philosophy: Engage - not enrage!
Reach, teach, engage and communicate with a world-wide audience and to raise awareness and funds to save our precious Australian animals.
How we support Australian conservation:
- Create unique and inspiring original art
- Raise money through sales and awareness and support through campaigns
- Communicate well to raise awareness of Australian native wildlife and issues around their survival in natural habitats
- Connect you to conservation projects, programs and organisations doing great work
- Deliver innovative advocacy, educational resources and campaigns.
I give out free education sheets about marine life every weekend at markets.
Focus: 1. Raising awareness of fragile marine creatures and the impact of rubbish and fishing debris on their survival. 2. The careful removal of fishing line and debris beneath the jetty and around the seahorse hotels, and general clean up of rubbish on the shoreline and in the water. 
Collaborations: art, education and community
