About
My name is Josie Go
Hi! My name is Josie go, and i’m a high school student from Massachusetts. I first discovered my love for art at a young age, painting alongside my mom and attending summer art camps. In middle and high school, I started taking formal art classes and found my favorite subject: oysters. Their intricacy and detail make them fascinating to paint, but I also use my work to highlight the oyster community—a species deeply threatened by overfishing and habitat loss.
​
I started dirty water inspired by the song “Dirty Water” by the Standells, which celebrates Boston pride. That sense of local pride made me reflect on the pride we should feel for oysters—the natural filters that clean our waters and support our ecosystem. Through my art, I hope to educate and inspire others about oysters’ importance and the need to protect their communities.
