Eco-Artist of the Month

Starting June 1st, 2005, Ecopolitan Restaurant now serves as an  Eco-Art Gallery, lending a voice to artists who work sustainably, selecting recycled materials or reusable, non-depleting resources, or using natural and non-toxic materials, or expressing thoughts and ideas that support environmental activism in content and substance. Artists who use part of their income to support sustainable, ecological, or health-promoting, disease-preventing projects, or who are themselves engaged in social or ecological activism, may also qualify to have their art exhibited at Ecopolitan. We hope that the Ecopolitan customers will support our Eco-Artists’ important work

Our first exhibition is by  Eco-Artist Cori Saraf. Born and raised in  Israel, Cori has always had a strong affinity to art. Her love of art was placed on hold while she pursued a career in Physical Therapy. Six years ago Cori decided to quit her career and homeschool her three children. Spending more time at home (and having another child while at it) has provided her with the opportunity to explore different forms of art media. She found her passion in using old magazines to form hand-torn authentic collage figures. She also makes cards featuring fruits and vegetables (available at Ecopolitan), and made the payment folders for Ecopolitan. Cori had several exhibits of her work in Appleton,  Wisconsin, and an ongoing exhibit at Ecopolitan. Cori maintains a vegan diet and lifestyle, and enjoys organic gardening in her small back yard. She is involved with the local La Leche group, supporting women in breastfeeding. With her family members, Cori learns and applies the principles of sustainable and simple living.

All works are available for purchase at Ecopolitan
