Keep or give this notecard celebrating the nature of the Salish Sea. All my notecards measure 4.25" x 5.5" (A2).

My Habitat Art Series explores the shape and form of nature in the Salish Sea and the Pacific Northwest. Here the Snake River is re-imagined as the farmland ecosystem of plants & animals in which they live. The Snake River begins in Wyoming, then meanders through Idaho, Washington and Oregon where it joins with the Columbia river and on to the Pacific Ocean. 

 It’s waters and lands are home to rattlesnakes, burrowing owls, deer, pheasant, quail, small mouthed bass, sturgeon, and so many other creatures. Chinook and other salmon are born here and will attempt to return home, after spending the middle part of their lives in the Pacific Ocean. Also along the river banks are people and towns, tribes, cities, ranches, farms, wind farms, railroads, roads. Fifteen dams divert water for farms, electrical power and transportation. 

The orcas, salmon and the rest of our non-human neighbors seem to be asking us if we are brave enough to make the drastic changes and sacrifices necessary to save them, and in turn ourselves. 

 What will our answer be?

As always, at least 10% of sales (more when I can manage it) are donated to indigenous organizations and local nonprofits working to restore our Salish Sea.
