About Me
- envart
- I come by ENVART honestly. I've always loved to draw and paint and I have a Masters in Conservation Biology. My mom was a chemist and environmental activist in the early 1970s in New York. She was the lead scientist for a group called CLEAN (Citizens League for Education About Nuclear energy). They fought to prevent a nuclear reactor being placed on David's Island, near New York City. They won! When I think of 9/11, I can only imagine how much more horrific that day could have been had my mom and her group not won this fight. My dad was a talented medical photographer, who was looking forward to retirement, so he could take up painting, in hopes of becoming "Grandpa Moses". Although my mom died long before environmentalism would become mainstream, and my dad died long before he could follow his bliss and become an artist, I feel as if I am, in my own way, expressing their and my hopes and dreams.

I saw your lovely illustration at the public library on Monroe St. Posted on our own blogspot...
My favorite endangered bug lately is the Karner Blue butterfly, which used to be all over the continent and now has lost nearly all its habitat. I wrote a pome about it last year, and have been thinking about doing some kind of broadside, but kind of at a loss as to how to treat it. Thanks for your project!
Thanks so much for your comment & for posting on your blogspot!
And good luck with your project - these endangered creatures need all the help they can get...
