How I found my art

     My art made from recycled surfboard fin material came from an idea to  reality with my first Big Whale piece.  I started making my first pieces  in August of 2015 and selling these pieces only through word of mouth  and social media.  When Sally Weymouth contacted me and asked if I would  bring my pieces to The Women on Waves Surf event I was excited.  This  was the first time I had taken my art to the streets to sell and get  customer feedback.  Then I was asked to do First Friday and have my  art on display for December 2015 at The Santa Cruz Food Lounge. I was  born and raised in Santa Cruz, California and I am a co-owner of Rainbow  Fin Company with my father Glen De Witt.  Our company makes surfboard  fins out of resin and fiberglass. We are environmentally conscientious  and we have been incorporating renewable resources in the production of  surfboard fins like recyclable packaging to using renewable materials  such as bamboo.
     While looking for ways to reduce waste I have  created my recycled art. This amazing art is made from production scrap  that will not find it's way to the land fill.  I couldn't see throwing  away scrap surfboard fiberglass fin material because it was too small  for surfboard fins. I have enjoyed making custom pieces for customers  and creating my own visions to fit your visions.  The ocean is amazing  and this art style is a perfect match in both color and content.
      I hope you will enjoy my creativity and love for this beautiful ocean  we live by.  These pieces are 1 of a kind art and  created with an ocean  theme but custom pieces can be commissioned.
