Why Earth Day Matters
Every year on April 22nd, people all around the globe come together to celebrate Earth Day. It is a special day dedicated to protecting our environment, cleaning up our oceans, planting trees, and learning how to be better friends to nature. It reminds us that no matter where we live, we all share one home: Earth. And right now, our home needs our help. Your artwork can inspire your friends, your family, and your whole community to take action and make a difference.
Your Artistic Mission
Whether you love drawing vibrant rainforests, painting your favourite endangered animals, or building sculptures out of recycled materials, this is your chance to shine.
The Theme: Create a piece of art that shows why the Earth is special to you, or your vision for a greener, cleaner future.
Use Any Style You Want
Grab your crayons, markers, paints, clay! You can even get creative by making “upcycled” art out of clean, recycled materials.

She has a master's degree in Computer Science from Stanford University and has contributed to foundational web technologies such as Java and later held senior executive leadership roles at Silicon Valley companies including Google and Instagram. This background in analytical thinking and systems design informs her artistic practice, shaping a sustained dialogue between structure and intuition.
