Maude Barlow Author and Activist
Acrylic on stretched deep edge canvas, upcycled fabric scraps. 40″ x 60″
From the “Voices foe the Wild” series: Maude chose to be depicted on a lake with loons. The loons are based on videos and photos by Ray Yeager; the Laurentian lake at dawn and plants are based on my own photos.
