Good morning all!
On Thursday June 23rd I had the privilege of participating in an auction at the Ontario Bar Association in Toronto to help raise money to fight poverty in Africa.
Dave Toycen, president of World Vision Canada spoke about the many programs that have been implemented over the years and about how well we have been contributing to fight poverty, but that we still have a long way to go. He really is a wonderful speaker who gives the impression he is truly committed to the fight.
There were several items up for auction (it was a silent auction by the way) including Leafs tickets, dining gift certificates, autographed photos and of course….art! I’m not sure what the final tally was but every little bit helps, so congratulations to the OBA for organizing this incredible event.
Oh, in case you were wondering I sold one of the four paintings I brought, so at least I got my expenses paid for and now Sheryl Johnson owns ‘Girl in White’, a beautiful painting that was part of the City2Sunrise collection.
Please make note in your calendars that my new exhibition ‘OMO’ will be showing at Artspace Oakville on Aug. 5th. Hope to see you there!!
