"I am committed to maintaining a planet that is habitable for humans and wildlife "

I am currently a member of the Canadian Wildlife Federation and the National Wildlife Federation. I am supporting these two organizations because I believe in their efforts to support habitats. I am particularly interested in the creation of the Wildlife Corridors, which the NWF is currently creating across America, much as Banff has done within the park to prevent animals from being killed attempting to cross highways. For me, I am attracted to the giants of the Canadian Wilderness, the Grizzly,  Elk, Moose, and would gladly participate in events to preserve their protected status or preserve habitats.  I am willing to donate artwork to conservation causes and I welcome opportunities and am prepared to contribute in whatever ways possible. This for me is a passion project; one that helps me to give real meaning to my work.

The fast rate of development in the...
