We aspire to finding gratitude and beauty in every day we are gifted; some days are easier than others, but with a grateful heart comes joy, love and peace.
In honor of the on-going work to provide mental health education, 20% of each painting will be donated to Chicago’s non-profit, Mental Health Association of Chicago, whose mission is to maximize the mental and emotional wellness of the youth, adults, and families of our communities by promoting prevention and increasing empowerment through our education, collaboration, and support programs.
Created to share your gratitude and love for anyone special in your life, the Love Collection features a variety of designs perfect for the ones you love.
Each card set will donate 20% proceeds to A Long Walk Home, which works to bring art resources and a platform to girls in Chicago.
This collection is inspired by the many incredible women I’m lucky to have in my life. They are my role models, colleagues, friends, and family- each in their own way empowering women and girls along their journey. They are strong, resilient, powerful, graceful, and have beautiful souls.
In honor of the inspiration of these original pieces, 20% of each painting will be donated to Chicago’s non-profit, A Long Walk Home, which empowers young artists and activists to end violence against all girls and women. They strive for advocate for racial and gender equity in schools, communities, and our country-at-large.
