Mission

Our mission is to demonstrate the potential for creative art to encourage in people an appreciation of natural diversity and to promote the benefits that come from educating others about nature and our dependence upon a healthy environment. It is our hope to contribute to sustaining and restoring Earth’s diverse ecosystems in the present and for the future.

Earth Impressions are one of a kind, hand made ceramic pendants that capture in detail some of the natural beauty and diversity of life found on Earth. They tell a story that includes natural history, geography and biodiversity. This site is designed to illustrate the human ecological and environmental stories related to some of the regions represented by the living things embossed on the pendants, and to describe activities of some organizations participating in conservation, education and restoration efforts in these and other locations.

By purchasing these pendants you are helping support important conservation and restoration efforts. Ten percent of the cost of each pendant will be given as a contribution in support of organizations that are active in the regions illustrated on this website. Thank you for your interest and support.

Contributions from the sale of pendants have been made to the following organizations in the amount listed in parentheses: Community Commons ($50); Chesapeake Bay Foundatin ($50); American CHestnut Foundation - Maryland Chapter ($50); Native Forest Network ($40); Cousteau Society ($40).
