Helping
I don’t sell these paintings, I give them to people who help. If you’d like one, make a donation to any of these groups equal to the donation price listed in each painting’s description, and show me the receipt. I’ll carefully package the art and send it to you via UPS (but I would request that you pay the cost of shipping, which we can handle later by Venmo or PayPal). This is the best money losing scheme I’ve ever come up with.
PS: If you really love a painting but can’t quite afford the listed donation amount, I’d still like for you to have it. Let’s talk.

Two weeks after Russia invaded Ukraine, a few of us hosted a benefit concert to provide relief to those impacted by the crisis. We raised over $45,000 in one day, and the support is ongoing. Please help those in the midst of this tragedy. SF4UKRAINE.ORG

Habitat has given more practical assistance to families in the grip of poverty and racism than pretty much anyone. Thank you, Jimmy Carter.

San Francisco SPCA is the largest animal welfare organization on the West Coast. If you would prefer to contribute to a local animal shelter near you instead, that’s fine too.
