One of the biggest changes I have seen in the environmental and climate arenas is the widespread use of art to share our feelings, emotions, and fears for the future. This is widespread in the literary world and I am happy to be able to share my books – each of which is at the nexus of human and natural forces. I explore both the good and the bad of human involvement with the planet through my writing.

I would like to call your attention to the opportunity to peruse a visual art exhibit that is close to home that has inspired me. The annual Willowbrook Painters Art Show is being held at The Meeting House in the Oakland Mills Village Center. My wife, Kathy, has some of her work in the show as do many of her colleagues from the Willowbrook Studio.

I would like to invite you to the Meet the Artist Reception this weekend on Sunday, November 12 from 3 to 5pm. In addition to the artwork hanging in the gallery there will be an art market held during the reception. For more information about the show, please click here.

Hope to see you there.
