Collection: Scapa Joe

Climate change and conservation artist Scapa Joe, is a collaboration between artist Caroline Appleyard and photographer/ designer Dean Hodson. Both are self-taught. Caroline scuba dives, and also paints underwater. She has painted on the wrecks of HMS Royal Oak, and HMS Vanguard, and her paintings are in the Stromness museum in Orkney.
Their work shows how wildlife and our planet is being affected by the climate crisis. Their creativity is inspired by personal experiences, feelings from within, and impressions from the ever-changing environment around us. Each piece they create has its own presence and perspective, with its own individuality

The collection we have from Caroline is made from beach trash including fishing nets, ropes and plastics.
