Paintings with a Purpose
Although creating my paintings is done purely as the work of my own heart, I do occasionally offer some specific paintings for sale, with profits donated to charities; and from time to time also donate some of my artwork collections to select entities.
In addition to supporting a variety of animal welfare and environmental protection charities, I also have a special interest in mental health and wellness. Having personally struggled with post-traumatic mental illness most of my life, I know all too well the challenges of needing/wanting therapy and being unable to access or afford it. Although in the past few years I have finally been privileged to access much-needed mental health care, I realize far too many women are still struggling needlessly. So I am offering several of my framed and wired ready-to-hang paintings in exchange for donations directly to The Loveland Foundation's Therapy Fund which provides financial assistance to Black women and girls nationally seeking therapy. Please contact myself or Page158 Books in Wake Forest for more information on this.
