Oceanic 31 - 2024

Each artist has donated a one-off original piece to the exhibition - which has been touring the UK to engage the public in shark and ray conservation, and raise vital funds for Shark Trust’s work as part of the Big Shark Pledge 🦈.

Very proud and excited that my BigEye Thresher artwork raised £380 for the Shark Trust. 100% profit going to the Shark Trust. Material & time to create this artwork was a donation to the Shark Trust.

ONLY ONE Ambassador since 2023

In-Kind donation. I have teamed up with @onlyone for the #30x30 campaign - protecting 30% of our oceans by 2030. I created 4 artworks during the drawing challenge For Planet Ocean, that I used online to raise awareness and to help to gather signatures for the petition. Post & Reel creation to raise funds & awareness.

We are asking to call on France to strengthen the protection of its marine protected areas!
France has the opportunity to become a true ocean champion and leader in conservation.
But this won't happen through inadequate protections and flimsy promises.

France's profound connection to the ocean is formative to its identity. Throughout history, the ocean
has played a pivotal role in shaping France, inspiring renowned explorers, fishermen, and artists, as
well as culinary traditions and much more.

True marine protection means equitable protection including strictly protected areas.
France has the second largest marine territory in the world. It spans the entire globe and millions
depend on the ocean’s health. But today, only 4% of France’s marine territory is strictly protected. The
health and future of France’s maritime spaces impacts the entire planet.

Blue Ocean Watch

From August 2019 until November 2020 I volunteered for Blue Ocean Watch. During that time I was the social media strategist, created several illustrations for their merchandising and prepared design presentations for events or fundraising. I also created the illustrations for the short film 'The Song of Life of the Ocean' to raise awareness of noise pollution.
All this work was in-kind donations.

Shark Guaridan

In the summer of 2020 I was approached by Shark Guardian about supporting their 'Stop Shark Finning' campaign. I created several illustrations to motivate people to sign the petition to get over 100.000 signatures to ask the British Parliament to ban the import and export of shark fins. The petition reached over 100.000 signatures and today the U.K. has banned the import and export of shark fins. I'm very proud having been part of that team.

Sketch for Survival 

In 2020 and 2021 I supported the Sketch for Survival exhibition by Explorers Against Extinction by donating 5 of my illustrations. Sketch for Survival is a global art initiative in aid of conservation. Sketch for Survival has donated over $250,000 USD to frontline conservation projects and has proved to be an effective way to raise awareness about a whole range of global issues, from the Illegal Wildlife Trade to Climate Change and habitat loss.

Stop Finning EU

From 2021 I supported the Stop Finning EU with several artworks to raise awareness and to support the European Citizens Initiative #StopFinningEU. Which reached 1 million signatures in in January 2022. This collaboration was unpaid and all artworks where created from my own wish to support this initiative. The European Citizens’ Initiative “Stop Finning – Stop the Trade” received on 5 July 2023 the Commission’s response to their request to end the trade in shark fins in Europe through additional trade legislation.

The Marine Diaries 

I loved volunteering for the Marine Diaries. The projects are educational and great resources for schools. For the #Marineecosystemdiaries I donated the 'Mangrove' illustration, which was displayed for the month of July 2021. I also helped to set up the graphic design for The Marine Ecosystem Diaries infographics, which explores 9 different marine ecosystems, from coral reefs to polar seas. The project is part of The Marine Diaries’ larger work to develop ocean literacy materials for NGOs, non-profits, and other institutions to aid the education of the public.
