A Purpose-driven Life & Business Model
I believe in being of service to my community and thus I often volunteer my artwork and design skills to environmental organizations, my time to ecological restoration projects, and my teaching to youth in outdoor education programs, and a percentage of my earnings to conservation organizations.
As my business grows, I hope to donate a larger portion of my earnings in support of environmental preservation, community youth education, and wildlife conservation. And I hope to lend my marketing skills to help fledgling conservation organizations get their message out to a larger audience.
Volunteer with Animal Rescue
Animals have always touched my soul, so I’ve volunteered with horse, dog, and wildlife rescue organizations for over 20 years.
Environmental Education
I love sharing my passion for the outdoors with kids and have led dozens of nature journaling and sketching activities with kids in the U.S. as well as Jamaica, Honduras, Mexico, and Panama.
Artwork Donations
As a lifelong artist, I often donate my original paintings for auctions that benefit conservation organizations such as the Audubon Society.
