Amazon Rainforest Magic: The adventures of Meromi, a Yanomami girl (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9782954746166)

After studying painting and other art techniques at R.I.S.D., I got my BFA at San Francisco Art Institute. In 1977 I fell in love with Paris, where I still live. For over twelve years, my life and my art have been transformed during winter trips to Venezuela and Brazil to Yanomami communities. My enchantment with the Amazon Rainforest evolved into burning my sculptures as performance art to protest against the ongoing destruction of the world's tropical forests and the degradation of the way of life of the indigenous peoples who depend on them. I've been inspired to write a series of books for children that describe the way of life of the Yanomami communities and the magical connection they have with the nature that surrounds them.
