News Flash!!!
Five of my original watercolors are en-route to Susanna Maier (founder of the Trade Your Talent art blog) for a New York City fundraiser. You can see all five of them in advance, posted here. Proceeds from the August 10th, 2011 event will fund educational scholarships for a small group of deserving girls in Tanzania. These paintings will be auctioned off along with other donated artworks, including photographs taken by the fundraiser’s co-sponsor, Patricia Schneidewind, during her recent trip to Tanzania.
If you would like to donate some artwork yourself (hurry!), attend the fundraiser and bid on artworks, or find out how you might buy artwork if you are not nearby (or your Learjet is in the shop this month), please visit Susanna’s July 30, 2011 post about the event at her blog, Trade Your Talent, for more information. There is also a link to my recent Artist Interview with Trade Your Talent included in this post about the fundraiser.
It’s a very warm and worthy cause, and also a chance to get your hands on an original work of art for your burgeoning collection. Thanks so much for your support!
“Frankenstein” (watercolor, pen & ink, pastel, colored pencil) This is one of the paintings that will be auctioned.
This is heart warming news, Susan, and I’m not surprised you took part on the event. You’ve donated so many of your wonderful work and I have no doubt they will help bring happiness to those in need. *many hugs*
This seems like a very very worthy cause–and GREAT paintings. I hope they bring in a bundle!
[...] Last week I wrote about the New York City fundraiser that would be auctioning off artwork for The Bakhita Girls Project. Five of my own watercolors will be up for grabs too. The benefit evening is almost here…and if you are in New York City on Wednesday, August 10th, it promises to be quite a musical and art happening–and a very worthy event! [...]
