Jo Fry

“I am an avid beachcomber and history geek from Half Moon Bay, CA who incorporates my beach finds into her art and jewelry. I research, write, and speak about what I find, as I love to discover and share the history behind these lost treasures. The sea has rekindled my creative spark; I like to think of myself as an artist whose inspiration is the waste of the past.” - Jo
