One of my series dedicated to our Fragile Earth, hoping to add my voice to concern and care for the world around us. I believe we are tasked with the responsibility to tend the gifts we have been given. I strive to express some of my wonder at creation and the Creator in each piece, connecting my art to my faith. My inspiration for “The Understory” is from Richard Powers, “People aren’t the apex species they think they are. Other creatures-bigger, smaller, slower, faster, older, younger, more powerful-call the shots, make the air, and eat sunlight. Without them, nothing.” ― The Overstory.
