Smoke on the Water

Smoke on the Water, 18x24 – Overall, the fracking industry is leaving people in the regions where it operates like Southeast Ohio with a toxic soup of contaminated air, soil and water which can or cannot be safely remediated in the future. Like with the abandoned conventional oil and gas wells, it may be left to the public to clean up the mess once the LLC’s in the fracking industry take their profits - possibly folding in the future to escape plugging costs, public health and environmental liabilities.

The Heavens and Earth -  Through my encaustic paintings I will show the beauty of the shale layers that contain the natural gas and oil in the earth, the water that carries life and joy throughout the region, and the atmospheric beauty of the sky containing the air we breathe…The Heavens and Earth – all in jeopardy due to the practice of fracking.    25% of the proceeds from sales of the paintings will benefit the Freshwater Accountability Project, an Ohio-based nonprofit.
