“The arts, whether as formal therapy, community outreach or enrichment, do impact lives in positive, far-reaching ways. They change the way we experience the world and when provided with intention and understanding, they can reduce stress, increase positivity, and reinforce self-efficacy. Most of all, the very existence of creative expression as a human behavior embodies the everpresent transformative possibility for hope to emerge from despair, aggression and violence.� -Cathy Malchiodi, PhD, LPCC, LPAT, ATR-BC

What
is
m.a.m.a.
earth?
m.a.m.a. earth is a grassroots community organization, based in Los Angeles, using the power of art, music and nature to make a change for the better, locally and globally. Since 2007, our mission has been to inspire others to give back in their own communities while raising awareness about issues that aect us all. We partner with schools as well as local and global non-profits to present workshops and fundraising events. The m.a.m.a. earth team has planted countless edible gardens around the world, facilitated donations such as instruments for school music programs and presented charity concerts that have raised money for things like water filtration systems in Haiti, schools in Sierra Leone and enrichment classes for underserved populations in Los Angeles. Global chapters have been launched in places like Brazil, Chile, the Philippines and Germany with young people planting trees, cleaning up neighborhoods and collecting clothing and toys for local orphanages. Get involved and help us continue this work that aects so many across the globe. Learn more at 4mamaearth.org.

Portrait as
a
artist
Marley He Mana'o Akamai Van Peebles was born at home in water on November 9, 1998 in Los Angeles, California. He is the progeny of (film director) Mario Van Peebles and (artist and philanthropist) Jaime Kailani Bayot, grandson to the legendary filmmaker Melvin Van Peebles and nephew to international pop star Bruno Mars. Marley is a venerable third generation artist from both mother and father's side so his improbable artistic genius is as cumulatively congenital as it is objective and rare. Van Peebles may be 14 chronologically but artistically and creatively, he is a wondrous, complex and artistic force who has great potential to develop and succeed in art. While young talent is somewhat abundant in the art world, style certainly is not. Have you ever read about gifted children with the incomprehensible ability to effortlessly rattle off answers to very complex mathematical equations? Well, Marley's art talent would be analogous to that kind of genius but in an artistically and visually creative way. His "vision" and how he lays it down on paper is a wonder and curiosity. Marley’s work has been collected by serious art collectors like actor and filmmaker Leonardo DiCaprio. Van Peebles will officially debut his work in Los Angeles at the “One Peace” art event on June 9, 2013.

painter Ben ferrer
Ben Ferrer,
is a Philippine-born, Los Angeles-based, American artist who specializes in portraiture. Ben has been working as a registered nurse as his main profession for the last 14 years and currently works at Keck Medical Center of USC, where he discovered and started his artistic journey. Ben began drawing coworkers and patients as a means of engaging and uplifting them, as well as their families.Ben sees his talent as a mere reflection or an honest capturing of what he sees in reality. His main goal as an artist is not to be flawless or perfect. Instead, Ben’s approach is to maintain the integrity of the subject(s) and to tell his/her story; which he does beautifully. Although on the surface nursing and artistry seem unrelated, Ben feels that nursing contributes very much to his artistic development and journey. Nursing has made him sensitive and responsive to emotions and expressions – which he feels is key to recognizing his patients’ needs. Ben adds that, “Many years of bedside nursing has provided me with emotional maturity and a wealth of knowledge in understanding individuals at their most difficult, trying times. Behind every face there is a great story to be told. There is an essence, a soul, a fighting spirit. Thus, I put forward my best effort in capturing these characteristics and making them apparent in the portrait.”

A Los Angeles native by birth, Ronda lived in New York City for almost 10 years.

Ronda's art launches an urban mystic sensibility through the canon of authentic hip hop, spoken word and soul music via multidimensional artworks. She is the recipient of several visual arts scholarships and awards and her artwork has appeared in numerous shows throughout New York, Los Angeles, and London. Currently, Ronda Brown is Art Director and teacher at Crenshaw High School.

Ronda will exhibit work at the One Peace art show as well as curate an interactive art project for all ages.
