In the wake of the largest oil spill in America, the Gulf of Mexico and its residents are in peril. BP and the Deepwater Horizon have created a toxic mess that will take decades to clean up and heal. The wildlife may never recover from this disaster. Already Sea Turtles are washing up dead in great numbers and the Brown Pelican, which was just taken off the Endangered Species list, is in trouble again.
British Petroleum is "responsible" for the cleanup effort, but it will take all of us to see that it happens and happens as quickly as possible. I appeal to my artist friends to use your talents to draw attention to the crisis and raise funds to help the innocent animals caught in the path of the oil. I appeal to the rest of you to do whatever you can. We humans are responsible for this mess. Our addiction to this fossil fuel has put these creatures in peril.
As an artist I feel all but helpless to correct the situation, but I can devote some of my paintings to the cause. I can raise funds to assist in the rescue efforts of Gulf coast wildlife organizations. I hope that you will use your talents to do the same. Planet Earth is hurting. Please help.
