ARTIST STATEMENT

Greta Thunberg is a Swedish schoolgirl who, at age 15, began protesting outside the Swedish parliament about the need for immediate action to combat climate change and has since become an outspoken climate activist. An estimated 1.4 million students in 112 countries around the world joined her call in striking and protesting. In March 2019 she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. I would nominate her as well, she is my hero.
