Thank you for sharing this! I’m an environmental consultant turned environmental artist. This is really inspiring!

Great to hear your voice via video and understand your commitment to environmental conservation via art. We're on the same page, as you know. Congratulations. Bob

David,
Great subject and well delivered talk. Of course I am biased towards my father's artwork, Walter Ferguson, and very much appreciate his inclusion where all you have are 15 minutes to convey a full concept of historical human environmental ideology as expressed through artwork.

The Ding Darling work is so important. Are there contemporary works having as much impact?
