STOLEN PAINTING

Our world is on the brink of collapse. War, famine, poverty, suppression, marginalization, intolerance, misogyny and disease. The causes include, for the most part, ignorance, greed and a toxic patriarchy. Horrifying images greet us every morning on our devices, shouting out from our tv screens to be noticed, to be heard, and to be saved. Overwhelmed by these images we retreat into our ourselves in denial. For me the fragility of the natural world is very apparent. Humanity itself and the renewal of life is challenged. We should all be very frightened at the possible loss not only of ourselves but all forms of life.
Up to 200 species go extinct every day - out of a million species which includes birds, mammals, insects and plants, reptiles, amphibians, arthropods, fish, crustaceans and corals.
Forty percent of all known species facing extinction are due to habitat loss and pesticides, a direct result of greed and expansionism. I am so lucky to live in a still beautiful part of the world and I depict glimpes of the things that I encounter on a daily basis in my work. I paint the things that I see in concert with a changing environment as in my piece Pickerel Weed. The loon is shown with a graphic background, struggling to survive in soon to be artifical landscape. The composition is reminiscient of photos in an old album, keeping our memories alive.

The pencil portraits are part of a long-term series that I'm doing of friends and family, and other things that have meaning to me.
