Three great events benefiting the non-profit, art community.

I'm excited to share three upcoming events that will be benefiting the non-profit, art community. I was honored to donate original paintings and textiles to be auctioned off at each of these events. Details and proceeds are listed below. Tickets are still available for all of the events if you'd like to attend.
