Artist’s Passion for Wildlife is Advocating for Endangered Species
Irina Pushkareva
Hello and welcome! My name is Irina, and I am grateful for the chance to connect with you through my art and love for our Mother Nature.
Local artist Irina Pushkareva is changing the way we view the landscape of SW Florida with her intricate paintings of the natural world. Through her art, she hopes to drive greater awareness that conserving animals and the natural environment is a foundation for a stable and healthy human society.
As an artist who focuses her attention on capturing the beauty of the natural world, Irina Pushkavera wanted to do her part to save it. Her latest collection of paintings showcase SW Florida's diverse wildlife, with a portion of every print sold going to support the efforts of the Florida Wildlife Federation.
"This project is important to me because I see how fast the state of Florida is being developed, and how negatively this development impacts Florida's nature and its wild species. People seem to underestimate the importance of nature in our modern society. Today, people struggle a lot with anxiety, chronic stress, depressive moods and even depression. But it was proven that watching animals in the wild brings joy, peace and harmony to one's mind," Pushkareva explained.
This project also serves as a reminder that our environment, its animals and humankind are all tied together.
"The reason I chose to paint wild animals thriving in their natural surroundings, is because I wish to bring the feelings of joy, serenity and harmony to people through my art. People often act on emotions, on whatever feels good in the moment. When we do that, we create chaos in our lives, in other people's lives, and in our surroundings as well. Only when we are calm and peaceful, our rational thinking turns on. Our emotions no longer direct how we act. Instead, we decide what is more rational and effective to do at the moment," Pushkareva said. "It is important to protect and serve the natural environment we live in, because we can't flourish as a society without it. But, nature can flourish without us. The more we connect to nature, the more we connect with our true selves."
Irina's mission as an artist is to empower others through her art and bring a feeling of serenity and joy.

About Irina
Irina Pushkareva began to draw and paint as soon as she could hold a pencil at the age of 1 and half. In her teenage years, Irina was trained in traditional ways of painting and drawing, but found it restricting and wanted to break free from traditional art. In 2016, while studying in Parsons, Pushkareva developed her own contemporary oil painting style, which allowed her to create "lines" of oil paint, instead of blending all the shades together like seen in traditional art forms. Since graduating in 2018 from Parsons with BFA in Fine Art, Pushkareva has been creating and showing her work in the United States.

100 Percent of US Aims to Prevent School Shootings While Uniting Folks on Both...
100 Percent of US Agree
Type spirals into a vortex displaying the words \"100% of US Agree. Kids should not be murdered at school!\"
100 Percent of US, a grassroots campaign launched to prevent school shootings, aims to unite members of the two leading political parties to combat gun violence in American schools. The non-monetary, non-affiliated movement leverages empathic messaging, with the phrase, "While we don't agree on much, 100% of US agree kids should not be murdered at school," featured on the official website.
Mariah Gray, the campaign's founder and a parent to a school-aged child, admits that the copy is raw and more difficult to hear than "gun violence in schools."
"If we can't say 'kids should not be murdered at school,' because it's too graphic, how can we continue to let it happen over and over again?" said Gray. "It's upsetting to think this may be the one sentence the electorate can agree on, but any alignment among voters is a step in the right direction."
100PercentofUS.com launched just in time for back-to-school season, a period when millions of American students return to the classroom to further their education. The movement asks participants to write two letters to two key Congressmen - Senate majority leader and New York Senator Chuck Schumer, and Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell, who also serves as the minority leader of the United States Senate.
The movement encourages participants to urge Congress to take immediate action to prevent future school shootings and fully protect students. Letter templates are available at 100PercentofUS.com, along with mailing addresses for Senators Schumer and McConnell.
Participants are asked to wait until Oct. 1 to mail their letters.
"In September, I'll send Senators Schumer and McConnell each a letter informing them what's coming their way October 1st. It will be a lot harder for them to ignore 10,000 letters arriving all at once, than if letters trickle in over a few months," said Gray.
The backbone and distinguishing characteristic of the campaign is a promise not to discuss politics in order to maintain solidarity among liberal and conservative participants.
"We're not telling Congress how to stop school shootings, but when to do it. We demand Congress enact further legislation to fully protect students from school shootings—and to do it by a deadline of November 1st, 2022. If they don't meet our demands, it will influence how we vote on November 8th," said Gray.
