I'm SO excited to share that I am participating in this auction along with 99 other women artists/activists* to use my art to support progressive women candidates in this critical election cycle!
The piece I am offering is called STAND UP WITH COURAGE! and it is an original signed watercolor and ink painting, 8" x 8" . It's inspired by a Maya Angelou quote and the #BlackLivesMatter movement!
I'm asking friends and family to support the effort and bid on my piece and/or other STAND UP! pieces in the auction. All pieces are now up for viewing at: https://www.penandinkbrigade.com/standup and all proceeds go to Emily's List (Working to elect progressive pro-choice Democratic women).
The auction takes place online August 21st-August 28th at The Pen and Ink Brigade site and on Instagram. Participating artists include the renowned artist, Faith Ringgold, filmmaker, Lauren Greenfield, and a host of New Yorker cartoonists, Caldecott Honorees, Award Winning Picture Book Creators, Textile Designers, Photographers, and Fine Artists
Edited to add: The auction was a huge success!! The Pen and Ink Brigade artists raised over $35,000 !!!
Thank you all who helped to spread the news and who bid on the art work and helped raise money for the cause!!!
