My artistic style flows directly from my writing. When I write, images rise naturally to illustrate my stories. The text below is the inspiration behind this piece.
Source of Life & Commons
As Rachel Carson tells us, you are “the mother of life, the womb from which all life emerged.” Your upwelling lifts nutrients to feed diatoms and plankton, sustaining fish and guiding salmon in their migrations. Your coral reefs, arctic waters, and sargassum forests are nurseries of infinite beginnings. You are not a commodity. As Vandana Shiva would say, you are a commons, a gift, a sacred source of life. Caring for you is Bhakti—a practice of love, service, and reverence. When we protect you, we restore the sacred. recognizing our own well-being is inseparable from yours.\
