Art for Diabetes Update: Paintings ready! Prints on their way! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Thanks you the wonderful donors of my campaign “Art for Diabetes” last november we reach our goal of $1200 to benefit the programs of the Diabetes Hands Foundation. Yesterday, I was very happy to drop off the 3 pieces I did at the foundation. They will be for auction this summer at DHF’s signature reception in Boston.

It took me more than 30 days to finish this project, but I am so proud of the results of these wonderful collaborations and the funds we are all raising to help ensure that nobody touched by diabetes ever feels alone.

Yesterday I also received the prints to send as perks to the 12 people that supported the fundraising campaign and the 3 amazing advocates that collaborated with me in the [I Am] portraits.
