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.

Identity label of Manny Hernandez (my husband). “[I Am] an Advocate” portrays the internal force that fuels positive change when you stand up for what you believe in.

 

Identity label of Kerri Sparling . “[I Am] Grateful” aims to portray the strong bond, grace, and love of motherhood.

 

Identity label of Scott K. Johnson. “[I Am] Listening” portraits a deep acknowledgement of a greater purpose in life: the responsibility of sharing our own personal gift with others.
