Tom Geoghan is a Nature artist whose vivid colors evoke the exciting depths of closeness to the Earth. I first saw his work on display at the St. Lawrence County Arts Council gallery in Potsdam, New York. Thinking that these images would be perfect for creating cancer prevention education brochures and posters that address pollutant carcinogen exposure avoidance and pollution prevention, I contacted Tom about using his artwork. I'll never forget what he said. "You can use everything that I have ever painted."
We talk about his inspiration for creating great art. We share our thoughts on how to save the Earth we both love so much from destruction by corporations that only know greed. In this interview we come up with a new kind of gathering, an activist art festival that I am calling the Activism for Mother Earth Open Stage. The idea is to bring people together to share their artwork, poetry, music and dance for environmental protection. During the course of the gathering the participants conceive of a collective environmental action and then do it. I would like to have such a gathering in the Adirondacks this Summer, and am already beginning to create an Activism for Mother Earth Open Stage in the Ithaca area for April Earth Month.
