This work has been created in response to the quickening pace of climate change and global warming. Of late, I have been considering the uneasy truth that there is beauty and wonder in Nature鈥檚 forces of destruction. Using oils, acrylics, watercolors and collage, these forces have been portrayed in paintings, in prints and in artist鈥檚 books. Each piece in this exhibit calls attention to a phenomena which has captured my imagination and stirred my senses, even as it has wreaked havoc on people and wildlife. This tension has caused me to examine my own participation, my own responsibility, my own contribution to the destruction of our home planet.
