Giving Back

Creating art brings joy and fulfillment to the artist, and, hopefully brings joy to those who view it. A founding principle of the company is that of returning a portion to charitable causes as a way of improving lives beyond the circle of patrons and viewers.

For 2008, two Flower Series watercolors were donated for auction to benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities which is now a worldwide network providing a 'home away from home' to families of seriously ill or injured children receiving treatment at local hospitals. Our local Ronald McDonald House is adjacent to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite Hospital.
