The Epic Story of Lee, Me, and the Tree — Jill Karlin Butler performs in spoken word their epic true love story.
“The dolphins are still singing.
The trees are still speaking.
The Earth is alive.
Can you hear them?”
When artist Jill Karlin falls in love with visionary architect Lee Porter Butler, they embark on an extraordinary journey to protect nature and imagine a new way for humanity to live on Earth.
Through humor, heartbreak, synchronicity, and environmental activism, Jill shares a remarkable tale of romance, resilience, and hope.
Jill & Lee.
Jill walks the audience through Lee’s vision, the founding of Ekotecture, the loss, the years that followed, and the dolphins that called her back to the work. Memoir-driven. Plain language. No fourth wall.
A selection of Jill’s paintings — ocean, dolphins, Ekotecture studies — line the venue. Originals available by inquiry. Signed prints from the Etsy shop on hand.
We’re raising $30,000 to bring this show to fruition and start building the dream. Signed exquisite original art works and functional items — from prints to giclees to original paintings and handmade paper art. Every dollar contributed goes towards bigger goals of starting a community of 100% self-sustainable Eko-Arks.
