Emmy Award winning, and Grammy nominated flautist, composer, and recording artist, Kat Epple, (www.KatEpple.com) was recently installed as the Worldwide Peace Marker Project's Ambassador for the United States.

The Worldwide Peace Marker Project is a work of global installation art which embraces a vision of world peace and creates a network of prominent international artists who are all committed to working towards peace. The project, created by artist, Tiite, (http://www.tiite.com) plans for a stainless steel Peace Marker to be installed in every country of the world. Each marker becomes a part of the community, a concrete point of peace in its own country and unites with the other peace markers around the world to create a global peace matrix. An artist will be chosen in each country of the world, to serve as the Worldwide Peace Marker Project's Ambassador to that country. This network of Journalists, painters, glass artists, musicians, sculptors, videographers, poets and dancers unite in a common vision of a peaceful Earth, environmental stewardship, world health, global cooperation and tolerance.

Markers are scheduled to be installed in the near future in: Lebanon, Israel, Angola, Nepal, Panama, Democratic Republic of Congo, Vietnam, Zimbabwe, Italy, Togo and Croatia.

Ms. Epple stated: “Through this project, I hope to connect with other artists and people of the world through the universal language of music, and to perhaps plant some seeds of peace."
