Josie Iselin | Kelp

Join Josie as she takes us on an adventure as an artist exploring the world of the seaweeds and kelps. She walks the beach a lot, brings seaweed and kelp specimens back into her studio and has learned how important these beautiful plants of the ocean are, and how much they can teach us about their ocean world.

Josie is the author of numerous books combining the art and science of our oceans. Her newest book, The Curious World of Seaweed, was released August, 2019. She holds a BA in Visual and Environmental Studies from Harvard and an MFA from San Francisco State University. Her writing and art focused on seaweed, kelp, and sea otter put her on the forefront of ocean activism, collaborating with scientists and groups working to preserve the kelp forests of our Pacific Coast. Through art, design and research, she celebrates the marine flora and brings thoughtfulness and stewardship to this realm of our oceans. You can often find her on various coasts at low tide exploring tide pools and investigating the intertidal realm.
