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!!!
Wain's World Partnership
SO excited to announce my art licensing partnership with Wain's World!
I first started learning about art licensing way back in 2014. It led me to practice hand lettering, pattern making, and more recently painting florals. I finally feel ready to dive in with more focus, and I’m so thrilled to have a wonderful person and mentor to work with on this new art venture!
I am still represented by The Cat Agency for publishing, and I feel so blessed to have such a supportive team behind me for both children’s books and now art licensing! :)
