I am working on a new painting addressing the oil pipeline under construction spanning five states, including South Dakota. It is known as the Dakota Access Pipeline, Bakken Pipeline, or "black snake" depending on who you ask. Over a hundred American Indian nations have come together to oppose the construction of the pipeline because when it eventually leaks, it will contaminate the main source of their water supply, the Missouri River, and of course the drinking water of many other people, creatures, and beings. It is a potential environmental disaster, so many environmental groups have also come together to oppose the construction. I oppose the building of this oil pipeline and any future oil pipelines, especially if they severely threaten water sources and destroy sacred burial lands in the process. Below are some progress photos on the artwork, which I intend to sell and send 50% to The Standing Rock Sioux nation to support their efforts to halt the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Please spread the word about the dangers the Dakota Access Pipeline poses to the environment. To learn more, please search the internet for news on the Dakota Access Pipeline. Social media tags include: #nodapl #rezpectourwater #waterislife #waterissacred #standwithstandingrock I will post soon, once I have the final images of the painting! Thanks for reading!
