Day 16 of 30:  $3200 raised through incredible generosity of friends, family and art lovers.  $1800 to go.  Please help me get the word out and help if you can.  I only get the pledged donations if the goal of $5000 is achieved.  Your support matters.

I’m going to La Havre to draw about my experiences as a New York artist in France.  I don’t know how to explain how important this is to me.   This is a gift of time.  I could not ask for a more precious thing and I am humbled and honored by the opportunity that the city of La Havre and Triangle Arts NYC has offered me.  Thank you to all those who have already contributed.
