BLOG: PURPOSE + PASSION

My Paintings were featured in an Art Show at Agora Gallery in Soho, NY.  Here is a photo opening night.  I so appreciate the support  of my dearest friends!  Also in this photo are Chrissy and Kelly who are now Art Representatives for my gallery. Pictured in this photo from  Left to right: Chrissy Douthat, Joan Smith, Myself, Dee'Anna Wright, Kelly Gwathmey.

I have great admiration for the artisans and their gorgeous crafts.  India, Ghana, Rwanda, South Africa, Philippines are the artisans work I choose to purchase and support.  They are very proud of their work and offer a beautiful array of all hand-made treasures.

 My goal is to sell a selection of these one-of-a-kind gifts.  After two years of studying every detail about purchases, I created my own list of policies that must be proved before I trust.  I will only purchase from FAIR TRADE CERTIFIED conditions. I am able to follow funds with proof of money going directly to artisans.

This beautiful little girl is a perfect visual of what water means to Developing Countries.  Why after centuries are billions dying from diseased water.  Because they do not have a voice that is heard!
