Surfing Madonna Oceans Project is a community who are inspired by Mark Patterson’s Surfing Madonna mosaic which started as an illegal public art project, and was almost torn down but was saved by a local community.

Cathy Carey, a local San Diego artist and the President and Executive Director of the Surfing Madonna Project tells a full story of how this mosaic and an organization came to be in this episode of our art podcast.
