Diane Marie, an artist from Madeline Island, Wisconsin never goes anywhere without a trash sack. And the Lake Superior beaches in her area are the better for it. "I have actually been picking up trash on ALL of the islands beaches (and roads and other places) for years.
But that is not all that Diane Marie has been doing. As an artist, her appreciation of the Great Lakes can be seen in her art, such as the "Down the Drain." She is also the founder of a group of artists known as PASS Arts (Political ARTivits Serving Society) in which artists use their art to benefit social, political and environmental causes.
"The Great Lakes are very special to me, and saving and protecting them are my personal crusade."
Diane Marie has generously donated the use of "Down the Drain" to Freshwater Future. You too can enjoy this beautiful art in the form of notecards. To purchase the notecards, Green Earth Greetings will print them and send them to you. The Great Lakes Aquatic Network and Fund will receive a portion of the proceeds.
