Hey everyone - how's your Saturday going? It's sooo HOT here in the city, but I've managed to stay indoors working - thankfully!

Anyhow - some news for those who are interested in my Cocoa & Hearts paintings. This piece below is going to be auctioned off for charity at an ADL event (Anti-Defamation League).  

Here's more info:

Award-winning and emerging New York artists volunteered their time and creative talents to produce works of art inspired by ADL’s centennial year theme of “Imagine a World Without Hate.” The powerful artworks will be displayed and auctioned at a fundraiser bringing together New York’s artistic community and those committed to ADL’s struggle against bigotry and hate.

The event will showcase 30 artists (including me) who created unique artworks including paintings, photos and mixed media that express their vision of a world without hate for the exhibit. 

My painting is called "A Candy World" 51"x 48"- and it is currently on Paddle 8 for a pre-auction. It comes with a beautiful gold wood frame.  If you're interested in BIDDING on my painting below - you can go directly to this link.

You can also attend the live auction event on June 5th here in NYC - for tickets go here. Also, the painting will be on exhibition at Benrimon Contemporary gallery for all to view from June 6-8th - FREE to the public!

Many of you may recall this post I did back in August where I wrote about my 'not so pretty' past, which I have eventually moved passed. I spoke about how the TRUTH sets us free. That statement couldn't be more true.  In John 8:32 Jesus says, “And you will know the truth, and that truth will set you free.”  I can NOW say with certainty that God is faithful. This is what I've experienced.

I dedicated 100% of profit for 3 days of sales from my business to 2 different charities, Women's Initiative & Children's Cup. It was a PLEASURE to act on what I felt God was directing my heart to do. He used me in a wonderful way to help others, despite the bad others were trying to inflict on me. It's no secret, I believe God is awesome. Below is a thank you note I received from one of the women I was able to assist through my donation.

If you're looking to donate to charities, the ones I listed above are some good ones! THANK YOU so much to all those who wrote emails, who bought from my shop & who commented - plus all my friends, family & husband - I love all of you!
