I am very pleased that I will again be included in the Recycled Rain Project at the Olymic Mills Gallery in Portland Oregon! This annual art show in focuses on water issues and encourages artists to become resourceful with their ideas and materials. It is always a fabulous show with incredible artists! I feel very fortunate to be included. Check out my pieces below and mahalo for looking!
ABOUT THE PROJECT:
The
Recycled Rain Project was founded to help bring awareness to local
artists and the various water issues facing both our state and
other’s abroad.
The
Fourth Annual Recycled Rain Project opens May
9th 2015 at
the Olympic Mills Gallery Space in Portland, Oregon. All juried
artists will create original works with collected rainwater. While
the subject matter in the paintings is varied, the over all concept
is to bring to light simple ways that we can rethink the way we use
water.
As
part of the exhibit we will also highlight everyday things that
individuals can do to make a difference. A portion of the sale
of any works are donated to a water-based charity. We hope to do our
small part to start a greater movement to help other’s realize what
a precious commodity we have and ways that individuals can help make
a difference here and abroad.
For
RR 2013 we were able to add a children’s component to RR with
the addition of RAINDROPS – a children’s gallery. Now
in our third year we want to continue help educate
children on the environment and bring them closer to art.
We
are currently seeking classroom partners. Please
contact sara@therecycedrainproject.org for
more information regarding a classroom collaboration.

That is a great initiative, Boz! And these are some great pieces of artwork for your project. They mirror the principle of water conservation and even rainwater harvesting to a certain extent, and certainly worthy of all the acclaim. I hope this leads to decisive actions to stop the impacts of climate change. Cheers!
