Sarah Jane Thornington, Artivist

Sarah Jane Thornington is an artivist, portrait photographer and environmentalist. She can often be found cleaning Cape Cod beaches with messy hair and pockets full of magical things she's found (that aren't debris), like rocks and seaweed. 
She has been a conservation artist working mainly with marine-debris for the last 7 years, and gives presentations, teaches workshops and has shows and exhibitions of her work across the Cape, the state and country wide. Her conservation art is to keep awareness on the overwhelming marine debris and single-use plastic issues we have, to give information on endangered species and to remind us all that our actions are not just affecting humans, but all species on the planet are relying on us to be better stewards.
