“Fishing for Trash Free Waters,” 9”x 12,” collage/assemblage, made from aluminum cans, plastic bottles and caps, plastic bread clips, cardboard, and paint

It was the first place winner in the 2023 Trash Free Waters Art Contest organized by the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary. The Fairmount Water Works and Interpretive Center held a group exhibition from January 31 till April 5, 2024 which included this piece along with a selection of other entries in the Trash Free Waters Art Contest. The Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, the EPA and the Philadelphia Water Company turned my artwork into advertisements to help share the message of keeping our waterways trash free. The advertisements were placed on eight Septa digital bus screens and eleven digital screens at Patco stations around Philadelphia for the month of April in 2024.
