PEACEARTH® highlights Peace through the arts, messaging and social media to promote and raise public awareness about the need for and importance of Peace on Earth. Maria Snyder visually engages all people around the globe irrespective of their age, race or religion to partake with her in a journey to change this world by choosing peace. At an American Public Health Association’s conference Maria Snyder's Art was described “as an emerging body of work that spans graphic, advertising, and fine arts in techniques and media, while illuminating the challenges of bringing images and ideas about Peace into the modern mainstream, after decades of marginalization”.
