Sand painting was originally an art form that was closely tied to religion and performing religious ceremonies. Some of the most well known religious groups performing traditional sand painting are the Navajo (Native Americans), Australian Aborigines.and Tibetan and Buddhist monks.
However, in modern time sand painting has become a form of art that provides another very important benefit - sustainability! Sand painting is ecological and environmentaly friendly, it encourages responsible behaviour and the use of recycled materials and naturaly colored sand.
Here are some examples of wonderful sand paintings created by one of the greates environmental sand artists - Brian Pike! Amazing works of sand art!
