Give with Style Today

What better way to put you in the mood for Christmas shopping than a winter wonderland outside? The snowflakes are dancing in the air mischievously and the snow has frosted Edmonton like a cake – BUT it’s never too cold to give with style.

Giving with Style is today. Brave the weather and come. www.GivingWithStyle.ca

I am selling gorgeous art-adorned greeting cards, framed paintings and award winning photography (featured on a billboard in Calgary earlier this year as a finalist in the Vistek Emerging Photographer competition).

Brave the roads (drive slow) and find me at this charitable event today. Part of my sales will be donated back to the charities.

Giving with Style this Holiday Season

 

Last year I sold my art at a fabulous event called Giving with Style and it’s that time of year again. Giving with Style is the best way to kick off the holiday season as supporting a good cause is the best type of generosity as it will live longer in the world than a traditional gift. Helping others is extremely rewarding.

 

At Giving with Style attendees can give to two charities: the Hand Up Leadership Development Program AND Stepping Stones. There will be artwork for sale by a select group of Edmonton artists as well as other beautiful handmade and locally designed products such as jewelry and seasonal items. Purchase gifts for the holidays and a portion of the sale will be donated back to the charities by the vendors.

 

I will be exhibiting and selling some of my brand new, never before seen paintings, wood sculptures and new art cards. Plus, I will reveal my secret hobby – candle making – they smell delicious and bring my colorful artwork into the realm of stylish décor.  Come find me and say hi!

This past Saturday evening I exhibited and sold my art at Giving with Style. The event raises money for the Youth Emergency Shelter and Hand Up Leadership Development Program. It was a great success and I was met with a lot of positive feedback about my art and photography. I sold some of my favorite pieces but I know they will go to good homes.

We finished preparing the art and displays just in time for a photo op!

Our display area all ready for happy shoppers and art lovers.

One of my favorite photographs I took in Santorini, Greece. This image was also exhibited at the Jubilee Auditorium.

By the end of the evening we had made quite a few art and photography sales. These ones are packaged and ready to go.
