A bit about me…
Ever since I was a child I loved creating, from paintings to sculptures to dolls clothes fashioned from scraps of material. In later years I studied Digital arts at the University of Hull which really changed the way I viewed art and I was able to start thinking in different ways. Although I had a passion for creating I never knew the best way to be able to utilise my skills, until the past couple of years.
My journey to reducing plastic waste came around after having watched David Attenborough’s blue planet 2. Like most of you who watched it too, I was horrified by the impact plastics, especially single use plastics, were having on our beloved oceans. It brought me to tears and I knew I had to do something to help reduce this tragedy. The main battle is trying to get others to recognise this issue in order for them to make changes too! I live in East Yorkshire, in a seaside town called Bridlington. I see the Debris left by holiday makers in the summer along our beaches and seafront and it makes my heart sink to think that this rubbish will be washed out to sea and last for decades.
