Art for Life at Artwork Network

I'm pleased to be a part of the Art for Life silent art auction benefiting Project Angel Heart this year.  My piece titled "From the Moonlight" will be up for bidding along with more than 150 pieces of fine art created by local and nationally recognized artists.  It's a great way to help provide meals for those coping with life-threatening illness.

The auction goes from 6-10pm at 878 Santa Fe Drive this Thursday Aug 26.
To purchase tickets call 303-830-0202 or visit www.projectangelheart.org
Tickets are $50 for one or $95 for two. Enjoy marvelous cocktails, wine and delicious hors d'oeuvres while electronically bidding on art at the Artwork Network in the Santa Fe Art District.

Visit Artwork Network this Friday, August 20, for Third Friday and a sneak peak of the Art for Life show.  Selected pieces of artwork will be on display at Artwork Network and in American National Bank Cherry Creek North throughout the month of August.  Please feel free to stop by or send your friends and family!

Inspired Art Show

I painted a charity piece for the Inspired Art Project.  It was inspired by this poem, written by Giovanna M., age 10, from Eagleton Elementary:

My Soul Is . . .
My soul is a heart filled
with sadness with no love that is going to enter.
My soul is something
that flies at night
If you spot it
It will spot you.
My soul is a cat running away from her life from the dogs.
My soul is a girl sitting in a chair
I am an empty chair/
My soul is a dog sitting on a rock like a boy running around.

The art show and silent auction will benefit two local non-profits that promote creative expression and youth development in Denver's urban youth.
America Scores Denver and Think 360 Arts.
It will be held on April 29th at Space Gallery at 765 Santa Fe Drive
