My husband and I have always been passionate about helping people even when we didn't have very much to give. We have had conversations about the major problems happening in our world, and we always circle back to discussing struggles like mental illness. To make matters worse, my youngest daughter was diagnosed with depression. I will use my gift as an artist to make a difference and aid in finding solutions for this important issue.

Our Plan

-donate a portion of the sales on every piece of art to the cause

-hosting art-based fundraising events for various organizations

-partner with mental health specialists to learn about how we can help
