‘RUBEN’S MESSAGE’

ARTIST: Tom Everard

“I'm a part time and self-taught artist living in Hornsea. My life as an artist started after travelling with my wife around south east Asia and Australia and seeing beautiful places being ruined by plastic pollution.

I decided to create sea life inspired bottle top art with found, and donated bottle tops to generate awareness through interesting and thought-provoking pieces which were later hung in Tesco.

I wanted to be part of the Starfish Galaxy trail as I thought it played to my strengths as an artist and is a great platform to push the message of sustainability and reducing our plastic consumption to a wider audience.”
