Caring For The World
I recently received a note from a customer saying she was inspired by my art and the way I care for the world. These words feed my heart. Thank you for sharing these sentiments. And thank you for joining me on my journey to honor humanity and nature!
The pain we hear about every day weighs heavily on us all, and when I feel helpless, I reflect on this: Caring for the world – for its ecosystems and every living thing – can connect us, if we let it. This is a guiding light that guides me every day.
I’m inspired by the ideas of conservationists like Hana Raza, founder and chairperson of Leopards Beyond Borders.
Hana was born in Iraqi Kurdistan and endured years of war and conflict.
Her message is profound:
“Growing up and living in a region of the world where instability and war have been the immediate reality, I have always found that the bigger picture has been lost on my nation: that species conservation and the preservation of ecological stability is the uniting concern of mankind; that conservation is necessary for the future well-being of the entire planet.” (From Future for Nature.)

Here’s a podcast about Hana.
Thank you, Hana, for all you do!
