Art & Philanthropy - Update
In the last two years, I have been busy promoting my new
website www.artandphilanthropy.ca This website allows me to present art work reserved for fundraising purposes.
The site has had a great response and some pieces have been
selected to increase the fundraising efforts of various charities. Since its
launch in September 2011, there has been some substantial action:
* An article about my new website Art & Philanthropy, written by Heather
Jamieson, was published at the ARTNEWS Magazine of the Art
Council in Ottawa
www.artsoe.ca;
* The first piece of art purchased for a charity through
my website was “Sun Dance” with the proceeds going to the Humane Society of Canada;
"Sun Dance"
* I gave a presentation about my new initiative to the Rotary Club of Ottawa /
Stittsville Branch to whom “Oriental Inspiration” was donated to raise money
for local and international issues;
"Oriental Inspiration"
* My work was part of the Ottawa Choral Society fundraising
auction titled Flying Machines presented at the Museum of Aviation in Ottawa
(sorry no picture!);
* I gave a painting demonstration at the official opening of
the Westwind Public School in Stittsville. The
painting “Primal Crop” was auctioned, with the proceeds going to the art initiatives
and cultural programming in the school;

* The yearly fundraising event of Acceso International,
which helps Latin American women, schools, daycare centres, workshops and vocational
centres, was held at the Ukrainian Hall. “Josefa” was auctioned helping to
support these important projects;

* An orchid lover was presented with “Triple Splendour”; as a
gift from her children, who selected it to support the children’s charity Dreams

Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville/Ottawa;

raise funds to support cancer patients with financial needs at the Ottawa Hospital.
