"Everday is Earth Day" by Meaghan Walsh

Earth Day may still be a few days away, but it’s never too early to show a little love for Mother Nature.  Meaghan Walsh’s “Every Day is Earth Day” is a bold green monoprint perfect for showing earth-loving appreciation year round.  (It’s also available as economically-priced prints, which start at $45.)

Not only is the piece in a perfectly lovely shade of green, but the artist also kept a “green” theme in mind during its creation:

“April 2008, my life was overflowing with long ribbons, packing paper and used bubble wrap. Gifts started to shower upon me, February 23, 2008 when I became engaged to my husband to be. Although the gifts were wonderful; I had visions of the paper remains filling up the landfills.

Earth Day was soon approaching; I wanted to remember this happy time by creating a piece of art honoring Mother Earth. All the ribbons, wrapping papers and bubble wrap were recycled and reused creating my Landscape Earth Flags.

This print, “Everyday is Earth Day” was my first print I pulled from my Earth Day Flag series. Inking grosgrain ribbons, carefully laying string to design a flower and using other items from past art; I am very pleased with my earth day flags. By creating these recycled and reused pieces of art it gently reminds people to be kind to the earth.”
