The Idea Box Journal

In reaction to the BP Oil Spill disaster I’ve been painting animals affected. My goal is to take the horror head on. It is so upsetting that most of us would rather just not see or think about it. By painting beautifully I am making the animals accessible and ideally keep our minds present to the event. If we are, then we are more likely to do something- send money, help clean up, or at the very least, be more mindful of the potential for this to happen again. We have to be more careful with our planet.
