Michael Killen: Artist Who Paints the Climate Plans of the Great

Michael Killen said, “I will now paint CA’s Climate Plan ‘Goal #3 which is ‘Double the Energy Efficiency Savings in Existing Buildings, 2030. ‘ I welcome Electricity of France and Stanford’s assistance. “

Michael is planning a 6 x 15-foot painting inspired by Goal #3. The art will also feature one uncommon solution that will help the state and decision makers in the state, to attain that goal.

The overall project has a mission of providing another approach to help decision-makers aline their actions with those of the state’ s plan. That approach is a symbolic presentation of information approach.

Michael also said, “He has already painted eight of the twelve paintings that are part of the project.   They include two of the six goals, five paintings on why we need the state’s plan, and three on the state’s strategies.”

Organizations that have displayed art from this project include the Governor of California’s Office of Planning and Research and the US’s Dept. of Commerce, Interior and NASA. The organizations also include the governments of Atherton, County of Santa Clara, Menlo Park, and Palo Alto. They include Microsoft, Save the Bay and Sustainable Silicon Valley.

With the end of this project in Michael’s sight, he is thinking about what project he will undertake next. He welcomes subjections. michael@killen.com.

EHP’s mission is two-fold: to sustain our neighbors through immediate crises and to help them regain stability and independence.
