Marina DeBris is not only an artist--sculptor--but she is a social activist. Growing up and living near beaches her whole life in Los Angeles and Australia, she was able to see the true beauty of the beach and the effects that man had on it. DeBris used the trash, garbage, and random items washed up ashore in sculptures, fashion called "trashion," and decorative art to help raise funds and awareness for ocean and beach pollution.
In her efforts to cleaning up the environment, she uses her platform and works with non-profits to raise money for art education. She also sits on a panel that discusses how artists can contribute to environment public policy.
