FROM THE ARTIST:  “OXYGEN KEEPERS”

What on Earth is happening? 
Climates, water resources, air qualities, living species, and more are
currently at risk.  So are all living
creatures: those that walk the earth, swim the seas, and fly through the
skies.  Most of these changes result for
human activities related to corporate greed of one sort or another.  Success is not a Valentine, as Phoebe Snow
sang.  For me talent, intelligence, and
skills combine to form a request – if you will – not to earn compliments but to
speak out on important issues.  The most
immediate concern for me is the environment. 
As E. O. Wilson stated, “Every species, to put it succinctly, is a
masterpiece.”  And every species lives
according to its seed!



To express the wonder of nature’s
balance I am currently developing this series of Oxygen Keepers.  Works regarding other living beings are meant
to follow.  This is my soft and indirect
way of advocating for the importance of nature in balance.
