Gary A Crosby, Green Life Project
Gary Crosby is a very prolific artist. When you think about that statement, it would explain a lot about Gary. He likes to think of himself as an artist on a lifelong quest. To create a piece of artwork that needs no explanation. It is a work of art that grabs you and holds you in its tight grip, and you have a profound understanding of what is meant by the art. Climate Change is the largest globally destructive issue that the world is facing today. He is using his art to bring about change and provide an understanding of the issues of Climate Change. We are all in this together! We must all work together to heal the world.
