Surfing Madonna Oceans Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Encinitas, California and was officially formed in 2013 by Robert Nichols and Mark Patterson (artist of the Surfing Madonna mosaic). The specific purpose for forming the nonprofit was to conserve, maintain and promote the public display of art and to promote environmental conservation efforts. Our intention is to partner with local arts groups and recognize the excellence of local artists and promote the arts through media. We strive to share our resources and create opportunities for local artists by giving awards, producing programming and creating opportunities for the public to share in the arts.

Thomas Smith

Born and raised in Northern Iowa where at a young age I was taught how to take and process black and white photos in my uncle's lab. Fast forward to 1980 when I made my way to the San Diego area for a change of employment. What an area for photography! I had kind of gotten away from it for a number of years, but the area really made me want to return. The ocean, desert, mountains, Mexico, I was blown away. Soon I was getting back into. I've enjoyed it ever since and welcomed the digital area.
