About Virgin Islands National Park
Virgin Islands National Park covers approximately 60% of the island of Saint John in the United States Virgin Islands. More than 5,500 acres of adjacent ocean, plus nearly all of Hassel Island, just off the Charlotte Amalie, Saint Thomas harbor are part of the park. The park is famous for scuba diving and snorkeling and has miles of hiking trails through the tropical rainforest.
In September of 2017, hurricanes Irma and Maria wreaked devastation to Virgin Islands National Park, as well as to many other islands in the Caribbean. Maria's outer eyewall was at Category 5 intensity and the hurricane unleashed powerful winds and heavy rainfall, tearing off roofs, downing trees and decimating the communications and power grid across the island. The National Park Service and Friends of Virgin Islands National Park have been working tirelessly to restore the park. In 2017, I donated $1500.00 to Friends of Virgin Islands National Park to help with the recovery efforts.

Photographer and graphic artist Rob Decker studied photography with Ansel Adams in Yosemite National Park during the summer of 1979. The experience solidified his love of photography and our National Parks. Now he is on a journey to photograph and create iconic WPA-style posters of all our major national parks as we celebrate the next 100 years of the National Park Service.
"I feel that it’s important to protect America’s special places, and to connect people with nature. And it’s up to all of us to pitch in. Perhaps more importantly, we need to inspire the next generation of park stewards. I’m trying to make a difference by giving back to the amazing organizations that support our National Parks. I donate 10% of annual profits, so when you buy one of these original works, you're helping these trusts, conservancies and associations, too."
By creating these iconic images, I hope to help generate awareness — not only of the grandeur of these amazing places — but also for the need of continued protection and operation of the parks. I think that everyone — now and in the future — should have a chance to enjoy the often-fascinating and always awe-inspiring majesty of our National Parks.
