I met Peter Max at his apartment on Riverside Drive Manhattan around 1984 or 5 . He was already one of the most famous artist of the era pursuing the next go round of fame in multiple prints and licencing imagery. I was Honored he granted/requested SunStorm Fine Art Magazine, publisher Jamie Forbes, and Victor Forbes, editor in chief, t o interview him. Forbes and I worked frequently jointly interviewing people for many years. Peter ws Peter! Always flamboyant, gracious, and warm we met many times over the next decade or so. Seeing his friend and publicist Elizabeth Derringer, and manager Gene Lutz, in Max Studios, or at favored restaurant of choice over time. My condolence to Liz, Gean, the family and all who fell they lost a magical kindred spirit through the memorable and loved art. " Peter Max is one a handful of artist who will be remembered 100 like the impression that he loved" was my quote when Peter's name came up in business or other conversations knowing I was honored to know him. May Peter's Memory be a blessing. Jamie Forbes, Publisher, Fineartmagazineblog.blogspot.com, SunstormFineArtMagazine.com

Jamie Forbes ~Hollyhocks Summer past 2023~ Oh No the houshold deer ate my garden!!!
Jamie Forbes: I am lamenting the fact our "Household Deer" ate all the Hollyhocks for the last three summers. As one of my favorite flowers it's a "bummer"
I live on a creek where wild life is diverse. Your back yard no matter where you in a live city, suburbs or have a rural landscape is unique. We all vote to actively engage with our surroundings through our actions. Wether or not we use pesticide, purchase vegetables & fruit grown with NON GMO seeds or use nitrates in our family gardens we are effecting the Environment. I encourage you to look around see what everyday choices you may make to change our world daily.
Find my thoughts on Environmental stewardship and beauty below in the sites !!!

Just a ~Pretty Night on the creek 6/25/2026~ Galactic Dust Sunsets Series 2, photographs Jamie Forbes
Galactic Dust Sun Set Series #2
Galactic Dust Sunsets: Artistic impressions, Science, and the Cosmos.
“The atoms of our bodies are traceable to stars that manufactured them in their cores and exploded these enriched ingredients across our galaxy, billions of years ago. For this reason, we are biologically connected to every other living thing in the world. We are chemically connected to all molecules on Earth. And we are atomically connected to all atoms in the universe. We are not figuratively, but literally stardust.” ― Neil deGrasse Tyson
I joined the sun daily light culminated to become an integral intricate participant in the story being told. Standing in the exact same place at sunset in my backyard over months colors swept through the sky’s days followed season and became two years. Astronomical positions and Astrological lens combine charts of the heavens open to interpretation illuminating my connection to the landscape. Endless eternal heavenly skies connect humanity through time in cycles and phases, seasons painted various pictures through my camera’s lens.

Jamie Forbes, A Diary Memory of Jane Goodall, and more current image of Baboon and Girl.
I had the pleasure of meeting Jane Goodall at an event hosted by publisher Louise MacBain in 2007, I think. The round table she sat at was small. During a break I came to sit beside her, and we spoke for a short while about her work. In telling her I was struck by the poignancy of her work, her response there was humble. Jane was reticent to talk about herself saying she had always pursued her goals without people approving of her. Later when my personal journey began to segway out of publishing, and the travel required I picked up a Masters in Eco- art Awareness, Photographic Theory, and Environmental ethics. As an environmentalist I was concerned about people’s relationship to the world around them.

As time moves forward last year, I participated in showing my environmental ~Galactic Dust SunSet Series. ~ in San Diego at the EC Gallery opening of a Native American art exhibition. While there I went with my family to the San Diego Zoo, one of our favorite spots. The below image ~Baboon with Girl~ I captured while observing a large male Baboon walk over to place his hand on the separating partition. He was looking at a small girl. He waited for her response. After several seconds I leaned over and said” I think he wants you to put your hand up too.” With my suggestions she placed her hand on his.
Observe the hands. What strikes me most is that I see the Baboon’s happiness resulting in a real connection. I was touched. You know I think all creatures aren't very different.

Jamie Forbes shows her Environmental Photographs in in Two Exhibitions March 26, and 28th.
Jamie Forbes exhibitions this week at the The Moriches Bay Art Alliance Group Show at the Brookhaven Town Hall Gallery, 1 Independence Hill, Farmingville, NY 11738, Thursday March 26, 3-7 PM, and the Mill Pond House, 176 Mills Pond rd. , St James.
As a photographer, Jamie Forbes steps into each moment, capturing the intrinsic energies exchanged between her subjects and her camera. Forbes’s goal is to offer viewers not only a historical record but also to reveal the deeper intent present within every photograph. Through her Eco-Art perspective, both in portraiture and scenic imagery, Forbes seeks to initiate a dialogue between the viewer and the artist. This conversation is designed to promote the concept that “we live with others” and are all participants in sharing and shaping our environment.
Forbes’s images possess a timeless quality of interconnectedness, conveying the subtle, underlying conversations that tell the story of the environment and the complex exchange between the natural world and the boundaries imposed by human cultivation. As Forbes states, “The images represent a story of my encounters that state the narrative understanding between the subject and photographer.” Her work is informed by five decades of experience in the international art community, where she has contributed as a publisher, gallerist, writer, and photographer.

And we are atomically connected to all atoms in the universe. We are not figuratively, but literally stardust.” ― Neil deGrasse Tyson
My personal lens is shaped by my grandmother, Caroline Elliott, Manzanita Kumeyaay, 1894 1994. She seeded my interest in who I am, where I came from, and the possibilities of our future when she told me ~Jamie one day there will not be enough water for all. Don’t’ Waste It~ Leading me though my backyard observing the ChulaVista San Diego desert, my grandmother told me “Once all this land was ours”, I never forgot the desert as the resonance of the land was laid out before me, Jamie Forbes, Manzanita, Band of the Kumeyaay Nation, For my mother, Thelma Farley, and Grandmother Caroline Elliott,
These “Galactic Dust SunSet Series” captures exact moments in time observed in photographs emphasizing the poignant beauty illuminating the landscape taken at moment of the day’s final rays at sunset on the Creek. I recorded daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly cycles changes seen in the land-skyscapes. The concept of galactic dust connecting me to the universe opened a doorway from which to view my observations reflected in Neil deGrasse Tyson’s “The atoms of our bodies are traceable to stars that manufactured them “ I became a part of a timeless interconnectedness to the landscape telling a story of the complex exchange between the natural world and the limits we impose upon it. Observing the environment, I employed John Muir as an environmentalist he states, “The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness’’. I observed the sacredness of nature through the lens of as a Native American, environmentalist, artists, and professional astrological perspective.

Gallery Onetwentyeight presents the Frailty of life~ NOVALEPSIS~ by artists Christian Pietrapiana, March 17-29, 2026. THis is a very relivant topic in todays world
My opinion is: The Artists Christian Pietratpiana brings forth the very current topic joining art and the current international affairs in his exhibition on the Frailty of life. Art brings a connection of mental image and emotional quotient to a discussion about life. Art projects like this in the age of intolerance is a welcome relief valve. Jamie Forbes, publisher FineArtmagazineblog.blogspot, and Sunstorm Fine Art Magazine, 3/9/2026
