Gary Oliver

Marfa | Singer and Songwriter

Mr. Oliver was a Marfa-based musician and political cartoonist who lampooned political corruption and environmental folly. He was particularly outspoken against proposals to dispose of radioactive waste in west Texas, and was part of the successful effort to stop the low-level radioactive waste disposal facility planned for Sierra Blanca. His cartoons touched on subjects such as endangered species, radioactive waste risks, and general ecological themes.
