Saturday’s ART FOR A BETTER WORLD SHOW was SO much FUN!!!

I’ll keep this short and sweet. Together we raised $1,228.00 for Givology.org

We have the power to make a difference, to make the world a little bit better.

On December 3rd Kendra Elstad and I will be hosting ART FOR A BETTER WORLD to raise money for Givology.org, which supports education in the developing world. We will be selling our art to help kids around the world get the opportunity to go to and stay in school. My daughter Ava and some of her classmates will also be contributing original art for the show.

On Monday, December 5th I will post the total amount raised + photos of any art still available that you might like to acquire:) 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the kids art goes to Givology.org and 20% of the sales from mine and Kendra’s art will be donated.

To find out more about Givology.org please visit their website.

And giving something back.

On December 3rd I will be exhibiting new work along with my daughter and her class to benefit Givology.org. For more info. go to my blog.

Givology supports education for girls in the developing world and I am grateful to be able to contribute to their noble work.

Did you know:

• A girl with 7 years of education marries 4 years later and has 2.2 fewer children. The population’s HIV rate goes down and malnutrition decreases 43%
• If 10% more girls go to secondary school the country’s economy grows 3%
• When an educated girl earns income, she reinvest 90% of it in her family, compared to 35% for a boy

Lightning in a Bottle (LIB) was so magical, the perfect venue for the YES project.

Love, love, love was in the air. Possibility, an incredible openness, all inhibition gone. People feeling free to express themselves, creativity abound, a visual feast.

Hundreds of people contributed to the YES project adding their dreams and painting beautiful YES prayer flags. Come on over to the blog to follow YES and to see the pictures from the festival. Also I will be posting a YES from LIB daily.

Thank you TR for making this little video. XOXO

Thank you to all who came out to support the YES project yesterday! XO

I set up the new YES project display for a test run at the Mother Craft Fair in Santa Monica. I love the way it looks:) I built it myself and had a great time painting big YES themed paintings for the display.

I’m getting really excited for the Lightning in a Bottle festival, which is held over Memorial weekend at the end of this month.

Stay tuned for updates as we move closer to the event.

I’m super excited to be showing the YES project for the second time tomorrow night, Thursday, April 21st starting at 7:00 PM at the Venice Art Crawl at the Sidewalk Cafe.

I’ve been getting ready, making new art and printing YES T-shirts.

If you live in the LA area come on down to the beach and get in on the YES action.
