The Jane Gallagher Award
As a celebrated painter and passionate defender of
open space on the Peninsula, artist Jane Gallagher inspired environmental
protection through her art and actions. In her book, California in
Solitude and Silence, she wrote:
I purposely omit all signs of civilization in my painting. This
is not a one-woman crusade to obliterate the inexorable encroachment of
man. It is just that the quiet untouched lands are what appeal to me and
what I want to capture and share. I hope it will make people aware of
how fast these spaces are disappearing, act as a wakeup call, and make
them realize that now is the time to save these lands for future generations.
Committee for Green Foothills proudly presents
the Jane Gallagher Award in memory of Jane, our former board member, and
in recognition of an artist whose work honors the places, people and organizations
that inspire the protection of open space.
