We are joined by artist John Sabraw for this episode. Armin has known John for quite awhile through their connection of working together at Good's of Evanston, an art supply and frame company. I met John as the curator at Studio 23 when I invited him to participate in the Land to River Exhibit. That exhibit was a collaborative experience with the Saginaw Basin Land Conservancy.
John Sabraw is an artist, activist, and environmentalist. He is a distinguished professor at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, and in this podcast interview we are centering on his projects that lead toward solutions for the environment.
"For me, environmentalism and sustainability are intrinsic to our presence within the system of Earth and the universe at large. These terms define a philosophy of Resonance, the butterfly effect, cause and effect – so we need to do the best possible action in moments and situations where we can have positive effect. If I have an opportunity to make a positive impact here, aren’t I charged with the responsibility to do whatever I can for the benefit of all?" states John on his website.
Listen as he share his experiences along the way on his incredible journey of art and activism. I am putting links to many resources to learn more about the artist. Be sure to check out his frequently ask questions link and his involvement with Gamblin's "Reclaimed Earth Colors" in oil paint. One more great project is with The Squibble Art Workshop in New York where John is on the board as project advisor. Please reach out with your comments and questions on this episode.
