“Art Auction”

Capital Campaign to Create the Endowment for

“A Place To Bark”

Become A Founding Artist of a Life Saving Program!

Be The Change You Wish To See In The World:

“Artful Hearts linked by LOVE” Saving The LIVES Of Homeless Pets Thru Artful Giving! 

In the past 5 years we have saved over 2,500 homeless pets!  

This rescue began because of our artist community & every life saved is a testament to the "Art Saves Lives" phrase coined by Jenny Doh. 

I’m a Believer in “We Can Change The World Together”  If people care enough & everyone do just a little bit, whatever that is to you… It’s cumulative.  I’m asking your help to help me, bring this vision to full reality thru your art, your celebrity status, followings, blogs, Tweets, Facebook, whatever you can do or feel moved to do.  

These are some of my links so that you can do some research on me & what I’ve done, to help you better make your decision.  I can talk about what I do, but actions speak louder than words & I’ve worked tirelessly to prove a point.

IF this works & we create the endowment, this will be a model for other small non-profit charities to follow.  So I’m focused on the success of this. We as artists, have hands that can create the world we want to see, by making art with our loving hearts.  We many not have money, but we have talent.  And thru that vehicle, we can generate the dollars needed to create endowment to sustain small non-profits.  In these hard times, you are going to see non-profits close like never before.  And we cannot afford this to happen.  

So lets come together for the greater good, make some art & Save Some LIVES!!!
