TIDES OF CHANGE OC

THE TIDES OF CHANGE PROJECT  is a  collection of paintings by artist James Havens highlighting the urgent need for conservation and protection of coastal Southern California's endangered species and habitats, as the tides of change shape their world.

Welcome to my SoCal Beach Conservation Project, a series of paintings dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of protecting our beautiful coastlines. This inaugural piece, set against the stunning backdrop of Newport Beach, California, captures the serene beauty of a snowy egret walking along the shore, juxtaposed with the raw power of the crashing surf. 

The painting also pays tribute to the resilience of the coastal ecosystem, which has faced numerous challenges, including the devastating impact of the Palisades fires.
