Who We Are
The Mendocino Eco Artists
The members of Mendocino Eco Artists (MEA) are professional painters and sculptors who live, work, and draw their creative inspiration from this beautiful place. Many of the MEA are known nationally & internationally and have received a great amount of recognition in their artistic fields. Many have also been generous with their contribution of talent and time on projects for the community. Each individual has a keen desire to contribute to the preservation of the Mendocino coastal environment - the mountains, rivers and shores and all the living things which call it home.

How can artists help the environment?
The work of artists is to record, visualize and interpret what they see and experience – what inspires them. Their work puts them in an excellent position to illustrate the changes and threats to our natural world in a way that all viewers will understand, and to celebrate the beauty of a harmonious environment.
The members of MEA have each focused their lifework on the natural world, and are ready to devote a lot of energy to helping protect and restore it. The MEA members will work as partners with environmental groups in a variety of ways to help raise funds for the organizations they support and help stimulate public awareness of the issues that impact us all.
