Charity Art

Lately I've been painting pieces that have got me thinking of something much larger than myself. There is such a huge health community out there of people with similar circumstances and experiences and I wanted to do something that would help them. When I had mentioned on Instagram that I would be painting floral kidneys, I received so many messages from kidney donors and transplantees as well as Nephrologists telling me their personal kidney journeys and how excited they were to see how the paintings would turn out. It was really overwhelming in such a positive way that I wanted to start donating some of the sales to organizations that I felt would utilize those funds for good.

I've decided to start a series of "charity prints" where 10% of sales will be donated to medical organizations that work with patients and funding to help people in need. So far in this series I've made a Tulip Kidney, Floral Kidney, and Floral Liver that benefit the American Kidney Fund and the American Liver Foundation.

I'm hoping to add a new lung piece to the series for Cystic Fibrosis as well as another brain piece and maybe more. Sometimes I don't feel like I'm doing much to help in a world that truly needs all the help it can get, so I feel at the very least this can be a small part of something I can do. I have so enjoyed hearing all your stories and hope to continue hearing from you! If there's a piece you'd like to see or an organization you love, shoot me an email... I'd love to chat about it.
