Annie's Action or Lack There-of
My partner and I co-produce a local weekly surf show for community TV at the end of which I always include something to bring more awareness to the plight of our precious planet. We run contact info for Defenders of Wildlife and Environment California with every show and sometimes include our own wildlife video of how pollution hurts marine birds, sea otters, seals and sea lions. This earth is a jewel and should be treated with care and respect.

"Dejeme decirle, a riesgo de parecer ridiculo, que el revolucionario verdadero esta guiado por grandes sentimientos de amor."
Let me say, at the risk of seeming ridiculous, that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love.

we can fix it

And if it were said of us that we're almost romantics, that we are incorrigible idealists, that we think the impossible: then a thousand and one times we have to answer that yes, we are.

About Me I'm an artist and I am always in love with this planet and the incredible variety of life it supports. I was fortunate to do years of research with whales and dolphins in the wild. After having my lungs damaged by toxic chemicals on a job I am no longer safe to be in a water environment. Now I paint mermaids and video surfing to maintain my connection with the sea.
