Giving Back

In my last posting I mentioned that I was in the process of attempting to become more environmentally aware and giving back to the cause to which has been pretty good to me. I am inspired by the natural world in general ! Showing others the beauty of our area and other places in which the average individual does not want to make the effort or take the time to see is what I strive to show you. In doing this I felt it was time to take action! One of the two ways is I have become a member of 1% for the Planet. This is an organization of like minded companies and individuals who pledge to give 1% of their yearly sales and service fees back to a non profit environmental organization of their choosing - an earth tax per say!

So, to find out more about 1% for the Planet, you can click on the logo to the right. I will help promote this awareness at future art shows , on my website, and blog.

Also, I'd like to announce that all future framing for my prints starting in July of 2009 will be made of reclaimed wood, made by me. The framing will be similar to my standard that I frame with now - black frame primarily, with a squarish mold. I will post some photos in a future posting as time permits as it is taking up more of my time now to make these.

Next weekend, June 5 - 7th, I will be attending Art & Air in Webster Groves, Missouri and I have been preparing for this show. So, til next time.........................
