Hurricane by Janet Brugos

Due the the warming of oceans, more hurricanes emerge. They can cause extreme damage to buildings, homes, cars and of course any person in its path. High winds can cause downed power line, broken pipes. So severe when it is happening but dealing the damage afterwards can be terrible. We all remember the terrible hurricane, Katrina in 2005.

Maureen Lagenbach takes on how fish need clean water to survive.  Many streams, lakes and the ocean suffer from pollution which effects all sea life.  This art piece is so cleverly designed and comes complete with its own package.  That is, it can be closed up and transported easily.

many of the works originally displayed at the Sun Gallery.  The space is beautifully well lit and a great selection is there for the viewers appreciation and possibly to bring forth some new ideas on how what we can do to stop or at least slow climate change.

Climate Change can cause migration of animals in search of food and water as well as humans seeking refuge from hurricanes, floods and fires.
