2018 Project Summary


TWO DESERTS, ONE SKY
ART-BASED GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
​
I am grateful to the Artists for Conservation Foundation for their generous support of my original  Flag Expedition #15, Thar: The Great Indian Desert. The AFC Flag Expeditions Program is a unique program established and operated by the Artists for Conservation Foundation (AFC), making possible the artistic field study and rendering of unique, threatened habitats, and rare or endangered species deserving of greater public attention.
