have a significant impact on individuals. We learn from stories, and a good artist is a great storyteller. They can get the point across in a deep and relatable way. So the Foundation will seek out these artistic and cultural innovators and leaders from across the globe and build the advocacy for personal awareness and actions. Everyone is involved in our planet’s future and the Foundation wants to expand the web of interconnectedness. Q: Why were you drawn to work with Layla Love and Global Coralition? What do you envision as the Reef Revival project’s scope and impact? A: I saw Layla’s “Rise of the Butterfly” art exhibit in New York City and was impressed by the creative power of using her art to support a broader social issue. When I began discussing the Reef Revival project with her, she was so positive in her ideas for making an impact that I was inspired and saw a perfect fit for the Foundation. In terms of interconnectedness, the ocean truly connects us all - and the coral reefs are such an important part of that vast ecosystem. Global Coralition understands this and has developed incredible programs, using art and science and local community involvement to help protect and restore those environments. For the Reef Revival show, I see it going all over the world! The Foundation wants everyone included in the education and inspiration. It will start in New York and then we look to the next few cities and will adjust the show as needed for the locale and the people who will be viewing it. I am sure that Miami will be high on the list for the next shows - Miami has a very close relationship with the ocean! Q: If you were to capture your vision of the Foundation in just a few words, what would they be? A: To act in selfless service to humanity and our precious Mother Nature.
