Sharing a World Vision

With her "head, hand, and heart," artist Betty LaDuke impacts the world as an artist, educator, and humanitarian. As a retired professor of art emeritus of Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Oregon, LaDuke has pursued her art as a mission with passion and generosity of spirit. This article describes how LaDuke uses art as a conduit for connecting to the world and the power of the arts to educate the world about cultural challenges and triumphs. Furthermore, it describes how her stylized, colorful paintings serve as a visual testament to the work Heifer International, a humanitarian assistance organization dedicated to ending world hunger and protecting the earth, does to combat the hunger, disease, malnutrition, poverty, and lack of education that threatens the lives of more than half of the world's population.
