Mattison is such a sweetheart! I was so excited when her mom chose this theme. It is getting harder to make all of my Minnie mouse themes unique. But I think I did a great job going the Minnie's Bowtique route for this setup. It is so pretty & one of my favorite Minnie sets I have ever done! She was a perfect little model :)Backdrop designed my me available at Purple, White, Pink Hair Bows Photography Backdrop, Birthday, Dress up, Mouse, Cake Smash, Ears, Party, Puffs, Star (backdropsandfloors.c

Courtney Mattison is an artist and ocean advocate working to inspire policy makers and the public to conserve our changing seas. She primarily hand-sculpts intricately detailed ceramic sculptural works inspired by the fragile beauty of coral reefs and the human-caused threats they face. Courtney’s large-scale ceramic coral reef installations for her ongoing series, Our Changing Seas , have been exhibited at prominent science and art venues including the headquarters of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in downtown Washington, D.C., the Tang Museum in Saratoga Springs, NY and the NSU Oceanographic Center in South Florida, in an effort to promote awareness for the protection of our blue planet. Born and raised in San Francisco, Courtney received an interdisciplinary BA in marine ecology and ceramic sculpture from Skidmore College in 2008 and an MA in environmental studies from Brown University with coursework at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2011. Her work has been featured in Science Magazine , Grist , Colossal and other prominent science/art/culture publications. Courtney is also developing her own line of home décor objects to inspire ocean conservation under the trade name Corallia Design and works as Website Editor for Mission Blue, managing and producing original content about ocean conservation for www.mission-blue.org . She lives and works in Denver, CO where she has her “Inland Sea Studio” and gallery.

A miscellany of vehicles, objects and other items that have appealed to me because of their design. Just for fun!

by courtney mattison 2015 artist statement: As her 2009 TedPrize wish, Dr. Sylvia Earle – National Geographic Explorer in Residence and Time Magazine’s first “Hero for the Planet” – stated, “I wish you would use all means at your disposal to ignite public support for a global network of marine protected areas, Hope Spots large enough to save and restore the ocean, the blue heart of the planet." I have admired Dr. Earle’s work since my first marine biology class with instructor Rob Spivack at San Francisco University High School in 2002. As an artist with a background in marine conservation biology, I believe that art has the unique ability to bring marine conservation issues to the surface and into our awareness. Hope Spots is a series of vignettes – each a sculptural representation of one of the most vital marine ecosystems on earth as identified by Dr. Earle. Each of these pieces represents a Hope Spot in its most ideal form – vibrant and healthy and thriving and protected from the barrage of threats that each faces – namely climate change, overfishing, and pollution. It is my hope that by considering the essence of each of these wildly different ecosystems together in a single gallery space, Hope Spots will inspire in us a sense of wonder and a wish to conserve. Thinking of each of these undersea ecosystems in its most pristine state may help us appreciate its fragile beauty and its unique importance to the health and future of our “Planet Ocean.”
