Green Art: Trees, Leaves and Roots

Authored by E. Ashley Rooney and Margery Goldberg

Over 100 artists, an international mix...some familiar favorites & some new!

Since humans started creating art on the walls of caves thousands of years ago, nature was their prime subject.  The artists in this book create art about connectedness and interdependence; individuals to trees, human to human, man to nature, individuals to community and nature to life.  Trees inspire uniqueness and relevancy....

(Segment from Forward by Margery Goldberg )

Trees are our partners on this planet.  They are gorgeous, productive and long lasting.  Humans revere the majesty of trees and respect their value and incomparable contribution to our planet.

Trees can live without people, but people cannot live without trees.....

(Segment from Forward by Margery Goldberg )
