scholarship funds for students in Haiti
The Air Markers Series, shown above, was donated to an art auction on
Friday, Dec. 1, 2006 in support of {Yele Haiti}, a foundation started by Grammy-Award winning musician, producer
and social entrepreneur Wyclef Jean that is changing thousands of lives in the
desperately poor but optimistic nation of Haiti to benefit Haitian students with
scholarships for enrollment to University.
The auction was organized by Haitian Education & Leadership Program
Artist's Statement
"The Air Markers series is part of a collection of works titled, 'Flight Dreams',
which is an account of my subconscious exploration of faith and transition and is
influenced by the visual cues of Aboriginal dream paintings, maps and views from
airplane windows. These three little paintings were created during a fertile time and
engaged a strong sense of becoming. It's fitting that they support the empowerment of
students devoted to manifesting a better life".
Art Lives Studio is producing beautiful notecards of the painting titled, Gift of the Ancestors and will donate proceeds in support of 'Yele Haiti'. These note cards are produced with 100% post consumer content recycled stock and soy ink, are processed chlorine-free and come in packs of six. CLICK HERE to pre-order now. Notecards will be released late March / early April 2008.
