A Prayer for Earth
Artist’s Statement:
We are fragmenting our wild lands. The cutting of forests, clearing native plants, moving and disturbing soils, and the draining and filling of wetlands, are detrimental to our environment — to our oxygen producing native trees and plants, ground and surface water, insects, birds, animals, soil microbes — and to humans. We are a predatory species and our activities are fueling climate change that could be our demise. Our earth home is stressed.
My mark making on paper and canvas is my plea for nature’s health and our survival.
