the joy and transcendence of life, growth, and love.

Book Review
“…
a series of lovely soft-focus nature paintings, enlivened
by elegant prose… Stone speaks in the voice of the
Wampanoag… His colors dance and shimmer; the images entice
the eye and invite exploration… The awe is not simply at
the beauty of nature’s riches, but also at the grandeur
and scope of time and the enduring presence of generations
which are also strangely rendered in these images and
poem-like words. The longer one studies these paintings,
the more one sees, and the clearer one’s mind feels.”

Reviews
Passion for the spirit of stewardship...
A celebration of
Native lands and waters...
A brilliant
contribution for education and advocacy of land
conservation.
A
stunning portrait of southern New England, Sanctuaries
illuminates the region that is the Wampanoag Homeland. Peter
C. Stone’s mesmerizing narrative and paintings offer a
historical perspective that is essential to understanding
the importance of open space, while engaging the
imaginations of both children and adults. Transcending its
regional background with symbolic images, Sanctuaries exults
our relationship with our environment through those who have
cherished it always.
Peter C. Stone is a former director of the Sippican Lands
Trust and an active advocate of growth management and
environmental awareness. As a writer and artist he has
concentrated on these archetypal themes of stewardship for
over twenty years.
