With the ongoing spirit of Earth Month, here are pieces that I’ve made throughout the years that benefitted the @nrdc_org (Natural Resources Defense Council). They are concerned with changing policy to achieve environmental and energy solutions, not just putting a band-aid on existing problems. Check it out! -S

NEW Print Release!: “Bliss at the Cliff’s Edge” Available Thursday April, 25th @ 10 AM PT!

Happy Earth Day everyone! But then again, every day should be Earth Day since we live here every day! This “Bliss at the Cliff’s Edge” image is my modern take on the 19th-century romantic landscape featuring sunbathers enjoying the dramatic oceanside setting. The Industrial Revolution and the discovery of oil as a fuel source created convenient advances that left more leisure time for the public to enjoy. At the time, these advances seemed to have no downside but we now have an overwhelming scientific consensus that the pollution and carbon emissions from oil and gas are dramatically harming and heating the planet and contributing to more extreme weather. We are at the cliff’s edge when it comes to preventing the most catastrophic damage to the planet. The technology exists, the only thing missing is the will of the people to put the future of the planet and the lives of our kids before convenience and profit. A portion of proceeds from this print go to @greenpeaceusa‘s efforts to fight for responsible environmental policies. Please support them if you can! Thanks for caring!

🗣️ARTISTS FOR DEMOCRACY! Join me and artists across the country in supporting this critically important effort and protecting our fundamental rights! Political commentary is frowned upon because art is portrayed as an escapist luxury for rich people who don’t want to think about injustice. It doesn’t need to be that way. For those who have supported this, thank you! If you haven’t yet, please check out @peoplefor_’s link in bio to back the campaign ending on April 27th.

MILAN, ITALY: I’m excited to announce my first solo exhibition in Italy at @fabbricadelvapore opening on May 16th! Spanning the past 35 years of my career, the majority of my art focuses on issues of peace and justice, environmental protection, music, and new explorations of these themes. Through my art, I want to remind people of the equal humanity of all people, regardless of their race, religion, nation, or culture. There is no us versus them; there is only us. I’ve also created new works specifically for this show. If you’re in Milan, don’t miss it! Check out @wunderkammerngallery for more details.⁠
