Through the use of natural materials via my creations art meets nature in an educational way that benefits both the environment and us. It gives Painted Coyote Creations the opportunity to speak up through presentation and allows us to consider what we can do to help the world. Creating these pieces gives us an opportunity to heighten our awareness of the ways we, as people, impact the environment and teaches us about how we can reduce the negative portion of that. The use of nature in art is a powerful voice for environmental advocacy, seamlessly blending artistic expression with a collective dedication to preserving the natural world. As a business and as an individual I am determined to bring some of these topics to the forefront using art as an opportunity to speak up and make a change.
