Colors of the Batey Exhibit and Fundraiser
Last November my son Colin and I traveled to the Dominican Republic to deliver $4,500. we had raised to help a Haitian community there install a safe drinking water system. (You can read about our project here.)
While we were there, Colin photographed and I painted and drew, with an eye towards continuing our fundraising for the community.
We are now having an exhibit of these paintings and photographs from the Batey Libertad at the University Vermont's Davis Center. You can see the show (including prices, purchase information and my sketchbook from the trip) online here.
We are donating all sales from the show to the Batey Libertad Fundacion to finish the safe water project.
Update: The fundraiser was successful and the clean water system installed! Thank you so much to everyone who bought our art, or donated.
