Last spring Jill Beninato of Sit, Stay, Smile Pet Photography invited me to be a part of azine called Party Animals: it features the artwork of 21
different artists from across the country. The proceeds from the sale
of this zine will directly benefit the animals at A Place To Bark
animal rescue. All work was donated by the participating artists and
the original pieces are up for auction right now and end late Monday night...the 20th! This is my piece up for auction HERE and it is actually the first painting that I created in my new Roscoe Village studio back in May:
This is all especially meaningful not only because animal adoption and rescue is near and dear to my heart but most of Bernie's dogs are rescued in Tennessee and she transports them here to Chicago to the Anti-Cruelty Society to find them homes. I had the pleasure of meeting Bernie last summer - her commitment and mission to rescuing animals is pretty awe inspiring.
So please check out these auctions, they end late Monday night depending on your time zone. Remember ALL proceeds go to benefit animal rescue sanctuary A Place To Bark. You can help buy purchasing the Party Animals book and/or bidding on the Art Auctions.
Below is a list of the artists who participated please visit their sites and their auction pieces.
