• Transforming Waste into Art

    Innovative sculptures that challenge perceptions and inspire change

  • Less waste on land,

    means less in the ocean.

    I have gone upstream,

    and use waste diverted from landfill

    My commitment to transforming waste into meaningful art began with a deep concern for our planet. As the founder and former director of Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea, I dedicated over ten years to leading a dedicated team of volunteers and staff in creating impressive sculptures from ocean-derived debris. Our goal was to educate the public about marine pollution and inspire change. After stepping down in 2021, the organization continues its vital work. This journey fueled my passion to intercept waste before it reaches our oceans, using art as a tool to foster community involvement and spark innovative thinking that can lead to solutions and a better planet for us all.

    Bandonia the Phoenix sits 12 ft. tall and 64 feet long, with a 21 ft wing span, next to highway 101, in Bandon Oregon. She looks at you from the parking lot of Art Park 101.
    Angela Haseltine Pozzi created her from discarded waste including car bumpers, bottles, fishing lures, hoses, kitchen utensils and more. The underside of her wings are musical as metal spatulas, spoons, and aluminum pieces chime in the wind of the Southern Oregon Coast.
