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.

Many thanks for this series! I'm sitting in the Mermaid Cafe looking at the rattler.
The Massasauga rattlesnake is also found (and endangered) in my native Ontario, where it tends to be mis-called "Mississauga" after the Toronto suburb. Sadly I have never seen one.
Thank you!
I'm sorry to hear that the Massasauga is endangered in Ontario, too - probably for the same reasons...
