Sustainability is about meeting the needs of the present without compromising our planet, while giving the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
My art practice is grounded in sustainable principles.
All species including we humans, are facing multiple significant current and future environmental and societal challenges
due to choices we have made as humankind in the past 250 years since the first industrial revolution.
Creativity + Conscience Can Coexist.
As an artist, being sustainable means creating with intention—not just for beauty, but for a better future.
It’s about choosing materials, methods, and messages that honor the Earth, reduce waste, and respect the people and ecosystems we impact.
Whether it's using sustainable canvases and woods, sourcing and using ethical art supplies, maximizing eco-packaging, or creating art that sparks awareness—sustainability is woven into my every brushstroke.
It’s a definitive rebellion against throwaway culture, using plastics and pollutants in my materials, and a bold statement that creativity and conscience can coexist—fueling not only inspiration, but transformation.
EMBRACING SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES.
Climate change, driven by greenhouse gas emissions like CO2, poses significant risks, especially in product lifecycles such as art creation.
Embracing sustainable practices, like using Forest Stewardship Council-certified wood and Inkjet printing with water-based pigment inks,
reduces environmental impact.
By choosing eco-friendly materials and advocating for a smaller ecological footprint, I aim to inspire positive change through my art and lifestyle choices. Practicing sustainability involves making daily choices that promote the well-being of all beings and ecosystems on Earth.
Environmentally friendly printing.
Our reproduction prints are created using the latest technologies, closely aligned with principles of sustainability. Eco-friendly Inkjet printing is more environmentally responsible choice for your home environment (no chemicals), for businesses like mine (reducing carbon footprint, energy and chemicals), ….and for the planet as a whole.
With international print locations worldwide my printer is able to
dropship from the closest geographic location to the end recipient, thereby minimizing carbon emissions from transportation - part of a sustainable supply-chain ecosystem.
Living sustainability is a choice.
Global warming and carbon emissions have caused climate change, pollution, deforestation, impacted air and food quality, increased extreme poverty, created health issues and climate-related events for millions, and created food and water insecurity for billions of people. As humans, we have caused a loss of biodiversity, created sea-level rise, ocean warming, acidification, and species extinction.
Living sustainably is about making individual daily life-choices that support the health and well-being of all of us and every thing on this planet. We must all become conscious of our choices to equitably balance economic, social, and environmental needs for today's world, and to ensure a better future for current and future generations.
