On August 15th I will be donating an original mixed media floral painting to help raise money for progressive women candidates via The Pen and Ink Bridgade in an online art sale.
This is an original painting. I usually don’t sell these, but I feel like this is a worthwhile cause. Along with 50 other women artists across the nation, we will be raising money with our art to benefit pro-choice, progressive women candidates in the upcoming midterm elections.
This art sale starts August 15th, 9:00 AM EST and ends August 21st, 9:00 PM EST and will be active on my Instagram account at: @melissaiwai1

Here is a sped up view of the creative process for this piece:
I hope you will consider buying my piece or another piece of art done by another artist in the fundraiser! This year’s midterm election is especially important in preserving not only women’s civil liberties but those of other marginalized groups. For women, legislation at the state level can make the difference between having abortion access or not.
If you can’t afford to make a donation for the art sale, you can still donate what you can, and you can definitely vote to make a difference!
