I am a photographer/artist who recently retired from a Fortune 50 industrial company to start a second career applying my talent for the common good. My focus is on the environment and offsetting the effects of global warming by donating my after tax profits to a variety of social and environmental causes. As you can see from my extensive "areas of focus" I have a few, If I were to narrow it down to just a few they would be "Art," "Common Good," and "Green."

My website URL is purposedrivenart.org. The site is only a few months old so right now I am the only artist listed. Eventually I want it to be a place where artists donate for common good causes of their choosing. I envision it as a place that artists can donate some of their work to showcase causes they want supported.

I am starting a second site purposedrivenartists.org in the near future that will be a wiki for artists to collaborate their talents with other artists working for common good causes. This site will be pretty much dependent upon what each artist brings to it in ideas and focus. For instance, one project I will "seed" it with is to create a comic book reading primer to teach young children how to read using words with pictures. Please give me your suggestions or comments on how I can make this a reality.
