Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "Sylvia dedicates her life to marine biology. She continues, even now, at 87, to pursue her passion. Earle proves that through persistent effort, larger than life goals can be achieved. I seek to live by the same code as Sylvia, dedicating each day to furthering the causes I believe in."
