How I Give Away My Work

I like to focus on my painting, and I'm committed to getting money to organizations that promote social change and justice.

These two goals meet in Art ExChange. You find a painting you like, it's yours for a $300 donation to The Vanguard Foundation or a $350 donation to a nonprofit of your choice. For the concrete works, the donation would be $50 for the small pieces or $100 for the tables to either the Vanguard Foundation or another nonprofit. I ask that this not be your regular contribution to that cause, but an additional gift. Also,I need to limit Art ExChange to people either living in or traveling through the Bay Area. This way I do not spend time with shipping art.

The Vanguard Foundation strives to end racism and promote civil rights, economic justice, gender equality, and community empowerment.

Collectors have supported a tremendous variety of groups:

Some people have created unique ways to increase their impact:

• giving a painting to a friend as well as making a contribution to the friend's chosen organization (two gifts at one time!);
• donating money to boards they serve on (and getting a painting for themselves or the organization) .

I also donate work to charitable art auctions, so please contact me if your organization is interested.

The works on canvas and paper vary in presentation. Some canvases are stretched already, some need to be stretched, and others are meant to remain unstretched when hung. Most of the works on paper are not framed and would need to be. Note that works with are sold or unavailable for sale.
