Description: The great scientist and naturalist: E. O. Wilson has titled the current era of mass extinction as the Eremozoic, the age of loneliness. Not only are we losing many species faster than any time in history, we are also experiencing the accelerated melting of ice sheets and glaciers which has now become the dominant cause of sea-level rise. My painting titled The Shore will hopefully be viewed as an artist statement regarding this situation world-wide.
