Art for a Cause
My family always inspired me to give back, and help make the world a better place. I remember my mother fighting for women’s rights in a group called The Voice of Women, and being head of STOP, an anti-pollution group.
When my children were young, I gave talks to parents at their elementary school, about global warming and the hole in the ozone layer.
Now I am marching in the streets with my grown children and my grandchildren, part of the climate change movement. I also support causes that help women and children.
I want to use this time in my life to give back. From a recent art show, I donated money to a women’s shelter, and several environmental and social justice causes. I love to support moms who can then support their daughters.
I donate a portion of my art sales from every original painting to causes that support our planet, and women and children in need.
With sales of my art, I support:
Kiva which gives micro-loans to people starting businesses around the world.
Women & children: Nelson House, Chez Doris, Dans La Rue, Habitat for Humanity, Children’s Health Defense
Environmental groups: David Suzuki Foundation, EcoJustice, Environmental Defense
Animal groups: Mercy for Animals
So a portion of my art that you buy to grace your home or office, will also be payed forward to make the world a little better, just as my mother always taught me. An inspiring idea, isn’t it?
What do you support?
I’m always interested in supporting causes that my wonderful art buyers support. Do you have a cause or charity that is dear to your heart? Let me know, and I’ll donate a portion of the art you buy from me, to a cause that’s important to you!
