The Gift of Community hand-colored print by DoAn Please consider helping me attend the Vermont Art Center artist residency in November 2008! As
many of you may remember, I was accepted to the Vermont Studio Center
residency from November 21st through December 21st this year. I was
granted a partial scholarship to cover a little over half the expenses
of the residency. I have since been working on raising money to cover
the remaining fees and I am glad to report I only have $1000 left to
collect! I appreciate the support of those who have believed in my work
enough to donate and help me produce work that continues to explore
nature, spirit and healing. As an added incentive I am offering a special limited time print for donations of $100 or more. The print is titled “The Gift of Community” Each print is hand colored by me with artist grade colored pencils, matted and signed. Once the fundraiser is over prints of this piece will no longer be available. I
believe the print speaks to how every member of a community has a role
and supports each member as well as benefits all. The Honeybee is a
perfect representative of this ideal. The print shows honeybees working
together in their hive collecting pollen and nectar. Attending
this residency is a crucial step not only in developing my career as an
artist, but also in supporting the community at large by allowing
creative work to be made. Your donation will go directly toward
supporting art to flourish, which, in turn, helps make our society
healthier and balanced. While at the Vermont Studio Center I
will be creating paintings that relate figures from mythology to
objects in nature and the cosmos. The purpose of this series is to help
people see and experience the beauty and diversity of the natural world
in a new way. With our misuse and neglect for the well-being of the
environment and the over consumption of nature’s resources, I believe
that people need to once more find respect for and appreciate the
natural world, which we are not separate from but intimately connected
to. If you have enjoyed reading my blogs or benefited from the
artwork and information that I have shared with you, please consider
contributing. No amount is too small. However, my appreciation for your
gift will be limitless! Donations received will go toward: Fees for attending the Vermont Studio Center residency To support me in continuing to produce artwork that stimulates thought To support my goal to produce work that is environmentally and socially aware For donations under $100: DoAn
