GIVING BACK TO OUR COAST

LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHARITY WORK

FINE ART FOR THE COAST

One of my favourite actions each Winter season is choosing a local environmental charity to donate 10% of my artisan fair profits to. Through the generous support of Vancouver Island holiday shoppers, I've funded coastal projects in the Comox Valley, Tofino and the Great Bear Rainforest. The local NGO's include, Raincoast Foundation, Pacific Wild, Cumberland Community Forest, Friends of Clayoquot Sound and Project Watershed. These groups are true West Coast warriors, protecting B.C.'s fragile ecosystems through scientific research, park creation and environmental rehabilitation. The Industrial pollution and unsustainbable practices imposed by corporate fish farms, mines, pipelines, and forestry are direct threats to our homes, well being and basic human rights and it's only by joining together that we can bring about positive change.

PACIFIC BOARD ART

When creative minds dream up unique and alternative ways to help protect the earth magic happens. Really honored to have been a part of the first two Pacific Board Art shows in 2019. A project that's founded on Cascadian Visual Art, upcycling and environmental action. Looking forward to seeing what shows and creations manifest in 2020, feel like I was born ready for these events :) https://pacificboardart.bigcartel.com/

So stoked to recently partner up with 1% For the Planet and give back on a broader environmental level. 1% for the Planet is a global movement inspiring businesses and individuals to support environmental solutions through annual memberships and everyday actions.
