I
recently read about a Hunger Prevention program in mid-coast Maine called
"Backpack," that sends food home with
children after school so that they do not go hungry during their time at home.
Putting the food in a backpack saves a child from experiencing the
humiliation of other students knowing they
are receiving assistance.
It really hit home for me; just the thought of a child going
home to a place with nothing for dinner and breakfast is heart-breaking. Like
most of us, I can't write a big check, but I have learned that I can use my work
to help with things that are important to me. And so with your help, I would
love to be able to support this effort through donating a portion of the sales
of my paintings.
And so for this event only:
25 original paintings regularly valued at $500 -
$750.00 each will be priced at $350.00 in an effort to raise
money for this effort that
is serving hundreds of Maine's school children. I will donate 15% of each sale
to the Backpack program.
You may view these
paintings on my website:

Just click on "Preview Paintings for Backpack
Program" on the left hand side bar of the home page.
You may purchase a painting in advance of the August 9th event and pick it at my studio anytime, or we can arrange to ship it to you.
