Cover Art & Artist

The planet earth is a dwindling repository of natural treasures: lavishly forested land, powerful rivers and oceans, vast skylines, clean air and majestic wildlife. As one in awe of such beauty and concerned with conservation of all natural resources and life forms, Jim Lind feels a sense of commitment toward helping enhance our planet's chances of survival. As an artist, he works to engender public understanding of the inter relatedness of all natural resources and species.

Jim uses the mandala, a universal symbol of wholeness, unity, and the reintegration of opposites, to promote this awareness.

Jim does commissions combining an individual's totem animals, colors, personal symbols and images. His artwork is displayed at Crystal Power & Light Co. Gallery, 100 Commercial St. NE, Salem, OR (503) 581- 3024.
