I am beyond excited to attend this year's @cyaconf

I am beyond excited to attend this year's @cyaconference and children's book illustration bootcamp! 🤓

I've been working on my children's book about Mermaids off and on for over a year, and it's time to get some guidance and see this project through! 📖

As a creative my mind is often with the faeries and I get distracted very easily, so focusing on this project during these cold winter months means I can still enjoy Mermaiding ~ just with a mug of tea and my sketchbook hehe 🧜🏽‍♀️💙🐚

So grateful to be interviewed by @abcnews_au yeste

So grateful to be interviewed by @abcnews_au yesterday about Mermaiding! Join our Mermaid Pod @sydneymermaids 🧜🏽‍♀️🧜🏽‍♀️🧜🏽‍♀️

So grateful to be interviewed by the Associated Press about Mermaiding, along with other Merfolk around the world! 🧜🏽‍♀️

I also make a small 2 second appearance in the video! 🤗

This is a "nurdle", or pre production plastic pell

This is a "nurdle", or pre production plastic pellet that makes everything you and I know from laundry hampers to toothbrushes...and yes, even mermaid accessories. 😥

"Plastic pellets escape into the environment during every stage of their lifecycle: from production, to transportation, and during final product manufacturing.

An estimated TEN TRILLION plastic pellets are swept into waterways annually, adding to harmful levels of plastic pollution in the environment.

Pellets are similar in size and shape to fish eggs and are often mistaken by marine animals for food. Plastic pellets can absorb toxins such as dioxins from water and transfer them to the marine food web and potentially to human diets, increasing the risk of adverse effects to wildlife and humans."

The more I learn about what I can do to help, the more I want to change things ~ even in our small Mermaid community. Starting with a new podcast about how Mermaids can help #saveouroceans and my journey as a complete newb in this area ~ be sure to follow along! @mermaids4oceans 🧜🏽‍♀️ #mermaids4oceans

🌊 O R C A 🌊

"Hundreds of thousands of whales and dolphins die every year after being accidentally entangled in fishing gear.

Bycatch was a critical factor in the recent extinction of the Yangtze River dolphin in China, and is the greatest threat to endangered North Atlantic right whales and Arabian Sea humpback whales, as well as the critically endangered vaquita in Mexico, Maui and Hector’s dolphins in New Zealand, Baltic harbour porpoises, and many river dolphin species."

This info and more can be found on wwf.org

Stay tuned for my online shop where you can buy this and other prints of my new series, "Bycatch".

10% of proceeds will be donated to the Australian Marine Conservation 💙🌏🐳

The more time I spend in the ocean, the more I want to protect it. 💙

Mermaiding is an art form, and art is Activism ~ challenging the status quo, people's idea of "normal", and showing a big mirror to the human race in order to question Everything ~ especially what we are doing to help protect our planet for the next generations to come 🌏

Let's put our tails together and make change to help #protectouroceans 🌊

"MANTA II" ~ Bycatch series
8x10, Graphite on Paper

What is Bycatch?

"Bycatch is the incidental capture and mortality of non-target marine animals during fishing...and is one of the biggest threats to marine life worldwide.

Every year 7.3 million tons of marine life are caught incidentally as bycatch in the commercial fishing industry.

The percentage of bycatch far outweighs the amount of target catch."

Manta rays are just one of thousands of species killed every year by becoming hooked or trapped in fishing gear, from coral to seabirds, dolphins to whales - the scale of mortality is so high it threatens the very survival of species and their environments.

10% of proceeds of print sales go towards Marine Conservation Australia @marineconservation.au
