Save the Earth Garden
I discovered the 'Save the Earth Garden' image a few years ago, and
fell in
love with it -- its vibrant colors capture the richness of the lands I
have
known and the volcanoes I have been entralled with. I now have it
on a T-
shirt and my business cards. It is a reproduction of a painting by a
Nicaraguan
artist, marketed by the Quixote Center / Quest for Peace*

* (from their brochure)
"The Nicaraguan
Cultural Alliance (NCA) and the Quixote Center / Quest for
Peace proudly present fine art materials from the paintings of
Nicaraguan
artists. All profits fund Quest for Peace development projects and
Nicaraguan
artists. NCA pays each artist a substantial annual fee."
"Nicaragua is a poor land, rich with art and poetry. NCA celebrates
this
tradition in images that mirror the spirited pride and resilient hope
of the
people."
"Images range from the primitivist painters of Solentiname to the
urban
abstraction of Solvalbarro. The paintings are photographed under the
natural
light of Nicaragua's tropical sky. We seek young artists and women
artists."
"Beauty is that breath of the spirit
which sculpts human stone
into flesh, tenderness and passion;
into love."
