This past summer, I donated a set of four paintings of diverse children to Child Crisis Arizona, an organization dedicated to provide children and youth in Arizona a safe environment, free from abuse and neglect, by creating strong and successful families.
Its CEO, Torrie Taj, and I had served together on the Greater Arizona Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, and I knew how important the organization’s work is, in addition to its leader’s integrity and professionalism.

Torrie was thrilled with my gift and said she would place the art in one of the organization’s shelters. Well, that just motivated me to do more! Since then, I’ve been busy with this project, gaining such reward from creating child-themed artwork.
The featured painting above entitled, “Flowers in the Garden,” is painted on a birch board. The second piece (below), entitled, “Aliens in Space,” is on a 24″ x 18″ canvas.
I have already completed a third and am beginning a fourth, after which I will share them with you.
Having fun!! 😊
