Thank you for visiting my on-line artwork sale!

As many of you know, last year I was one of nine women selected to be a fellow of A.I.R. gallery out of 200 applicants.

As part of the fellowship program, I will be having my first (ever!) solo show at the gallery in June. A.I.R. is a not-for-profit gallery whose mission is to advance the status of women artists by exhibiting quality work by a diverse group and to provide leadership and community to women artists (visit www.airnyc.org for more information). The fellowship, open to emerging women artists yet to have a solo show, is part of this mission.

I really cannot express how fantastic an opportunity this is for me to show my work in New York's Chelsea gallery district. If it's done right, the show carries the possibility of gaining dealer representation and priceless exposure in the incredibly competitive New York art world.

The only downside is that because A.I.R. is a not-for-profit venue, the responsibility of funding the show falls to the artist. These costs (which include framing, installation, advertising and mailing) are substantial. I'm attempting to cover these costs by pre-selling the works that will be in the show (the stuffed animal series) as well as many of my earlier drawings and paintings. Please help me to raise the funds necessary to make this the best show possible!

Thank you so much and I look forward to hearing from you!
