Giving Back
I believe creativity has the power to build confidence, spark curiosity, and bring people together. Through my paint nights, workshops, and kids' classes, I've had the privilege of helping people discover a creative side of themselves they didn't know existed. When someone says to me "wow, I didn't know I could paint something like this", those moments are one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
Nature has always been at the heart of my artwork, and I believe in giving back to both the environment and the community that inspires me. I'm proud to support local Whistler charities and non-profit organizations, including PARC (The Point Artist Run Centre), Whistler Blackcomb Foundation, Zero Ceiling, Whistler Adaptive Sports and WCSS (Whistler Community Services Society).
Sales of my work also support the following:
Ecologi - for each product sold, 1 tree is planted.
To help offset my carbon footprint for shipping and production of my prints, I have opted in to Ecologi. You can see my ongoing impact on my Ecologi profile page here: https://ecologi.com/andreamuellerart
From the Ecologi website:
It’s now common knowledge that one of the best tools to tackle the climate crisis and keep our temperatures from rising above 1.5C is to plant trees. They are also crucial to preventing ecological collapse.
Our tree planting partner The Eden Reforestation Projects plant millions of trees around the world each month. We are currently supporting their incredible work in Madagascar.
Raincoat Conservation Foundation - 5% of all proceeds from designated paintings and merch are donated.
From the Raincoast Conservation Foundation website:
Raincoast is a team of conservationists and scientists empowered by our research to protect the lands, waters and wildlife of coastal British Columbia.
We use rigorous, peer-reviewed science and community engagement to further our conservation objectives. We call this approach ‘informed advocacy’ and it is unique amongst conservation efforts. We investigate to understand coastal species and processes. We inform by bringing science to decision makers and communities. We inspire action to protect wildlife and their wilderness habitats.
50% the proceeds from every print of "The Trophy" ordered will be donated help protect wildlife through the Sheldrick Wild Life Trust . This trust runs the largest wildlife sanctuary with a focus on Elephants and the Black Rhino. For every $50 raised we can foster and elephant for a year. I have always had a love of all creatures. Conserving and protecting wild life has always been a message in my art work. By creating beautiful images of them I hope that people will be happy to capture them in their homes through the arts rather than at the hands of poachers and trophy hunters. Thank you for your support!
