Josie Iselin is a fine art photographer and book author passionate about the natural world around her. Josie is intent on looking closely at the objects of our world and asking how we can learn both about and from them. Her newest project is an in-depth website titled The Mysterious World of Bull Kelp devoted to the bull kelp forest of the North Pacific Coast. She has been working with Marianna Leuschel as co-directors of Above/Below to bring this ambitious web-based book to fruition. Josie’s previous book, The Curious World of Seaweed, takes a deep dive into the ocean universe of marine algae, creating a nexus where art and science converge. It was published in August 2019 by Heyday Books, Berkeley CA. She uses her scanner exclusively to make portraits of seaweeds, beach stones and other treasure we find at the beach. Her fine art prints and trade books let the fantastic of the familiar speak to us directly. Josie’s design studio, Loving Blind Productions, is busy with ongoing projects: from art and science workshops and ocean advocacy to bold new scarf designs. Please join the exploration!
