Sanctuaries, A Celebration Of Native Lands And Waters

"...Mr. Stone's ability to match evocative words with evocative scenery is haunting..."

- Heartland 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.

Cape Moonrise
From: Sanctuaries

"...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."
