ABOUT THE ARTIST
"The inspiration for the painting was the experience I had with the animals during the Conservation Conversation retreat. I placed all the animals with their backs to us, facing the same direction we, as viewers, are facing, to suggest that we are together as viewers and participants in a grand pageant; watching the cranes fly northwards (up the Yellowstone to Yukon wildlife corridor) - part of one tribe. The mountains in the background are the Tetons as seen from Earthfire. The title "Beyond Earthfire" is meant to be taken both literally and figuratively. It is literally the view one sees from looking past - or beyond- the Earthfire land. Figuratively I wanted to suggest a future aspire to, what follows our endeavor to see and embrace the animals as part of our community and not separate from us."
