These canvases are physical meditations on what I have gleaned from books and magazines as well as echoes of daily news coverage about vanishing species, the green revolution, biodiversity and climate change. The work is meant to reflect the severity of the global crisis we hear so much about and assume is so far away.
Art holds the possibility of instantly communicating a new vision but can also act as a key to help the viewer access what they already know. We know our daily actions affect the health of the planet and we have the capacity to live in harmony with the natural world. The question is, do we have the will to make the right choices?
