We’ll be dealing with the effects of this oil disaster for a long time to come. Until the flow of oil has stopped it is impossible to assess the damage it will be causing, but it is obvious that it will be horrible for the wildlife in the Gulf of Mexico. I arrived in Pensacola, Florida yesterday and have seen no oil yet, but teams of people mobilizing for clean-up efforts.
My artwork will be on display this month at Gallery 11 in Pensacola, and several of the paintings are dedicated to wildlife rescue. The sale of these artworks is just part of the contribution I plan to make to this effort.
I am currently working to organize a series of art auctions at various galleries if you would like to contribute your original artwork as well. We are also working on setting up a new Zazzle site where we can sell our work on products as a concerned artists’ community. We will be posting further details as we have them…where to ship your work, image file size for Zazzle, etc.
If you are a gallery or would like to host a fund raising event, please contact us as soon as possible. If you would just like to donate money directly to the organization we are funding, you can send your donations to:
Make checks payable to Wildlife Rehabilitation & Nature Preservation Society, Inc. or WRANPS. P O Box 209; Long Beach, MS 39560. (in the note/subject line of your check, please include “art vs oil spill”) Attn: Jan Dubuisson
Thank you for all that you can do to help!!
