“Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality”. Martin Luther King Jr.

 I am approached from various charities through out the year.  Making my selections usually a year in advance allows me time to create special pieces for the chosen charities, aside from the monies I have donated to the Nature Conservancies. These two new donations were painted specifically for their charities. I am excited to share the news and will keep you updated on these pieces.
