The Jane Gallagher Award

As a celebrated painter and passionate defender of open space on the Peninsula, artist Jane Gallagher inspired environmental protection through her art and actions. In her book, California in Solitude and Silence, she wrote:

I purposely omit all signs of civilization in my painting. This is not a one-woman crusade to obliterate the inexorable encroachment of man. It is just that the quiet untouched lands are what appeal to me and what I want to capture and share. I hope it will make people aware of how fast these spaces are disappearing, act as a wakeup call, and make them realize that now is the time to save these lands for future generations.

Committee for Green Foothills proudly presents the Jane Gallagher Award in memory of Jane, our former board member, and in recognition of an artist whose work honors the places, people and organizations that inspire the protection of open space.
