Paint Project
I painted my way through my Birth Affirmations coloring book, doing a watercolor painting for each page. These paintings are a body of work I am created for my very first solo art show.
Opening night was December 2nd 2022 from 5pm-8pm at Gallery 44 in Corry, PA.
(44 N. Center St. Corry, PA 16407, 814-964-3233)
All paintings will be available for sale. I am unable to ship, but am happy to arrange pick up. Any paintings sold must remain with the show until it closes at the end of Feb. 2023.
50% of all sales will be donated to three local non-profits. If you make a purchase, you decide which non-profit your money goes to: Emma’s Footprints, Women’s Care Center, or LifeCare Pregnancy of Corry, PA.
