UPDATE: All three paintings sold and raised money for the people of Lahaina! Paintings are on their way to Florida, Indiana and Canada!

Along with MANY other artists, I am participating in an online auction where proceeds will go to help restore the town and help its residents during this tragic time. I have donated three paintings that I will frame and ship for free to the highest bidders. The auction begins September 1st and ends September 10th. If you'd like to place a bid on any of the magnificent paintings from some of the best artists in the world. We are all donating our paintings free of charge. Some will be asking for shipping costs to be covered but some of us are paying for that as well. I am happy to take part in this recovery effort the little way that I can. Go to their website below to register to bid, so that you will receive an email when the event opens. The event has many big name sponsors as well, so you can rest assured in its legitimacy. 

From the website (www.artistsforlahaina.com):

The Lahaina Fire on the night of August 8th was the deadliest in modern American history. The fire burned though 80% of the town and left its surviving residents facing a deeply uncertain future.

Lahaina was once the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii and it is known for its rich culture & arts community. The town is beloved by the thousands of artists who have found both welcome and inspiration there.

In support of Lahaina’s efforts to rebuild, we are organizing an auction of original artwork by artists from all over the world.

All auction proceeds will go to the Lahaina Restoration Foundation, a nonprofit that has close ties to the town’s art community and is committed to helping rebuild Lahaina in a way that respects the town’s rich history and culture.
