I can remember as a child trying to make a pretend art studio in my parent’s garage. Back then I made a silent oath myself to peruse the arts by using my skill and artistic sensibility,” to do what I love.”

After working many years as an illustrator in the textile industry, I became aware of the magnitude of disposable plastic junk we put into our landfills all in the name of advertising.

While traveling through Central America I saw with my own eyes, mans encroachment on our natural resources. The practice of thrash and burn for agricultural purposes diminishes miles of our precious rainforests every day. My goal for EarthArt is to donate proceeds from the sell of my art to worthy organizations, who are trying to save our endangered species and fragile environment. By linking friends with the same purpose and ideals and to educate myself and others, Art can be a powerful thing. An Image can evoke a thought, reason and pleasure.

I wish to achieve an emotional response from the viewer followed by an appreciation of the information carried by the image.

ENJOY, Marilyn HERZIK
