I have been so inspired by other artists who have undertaken such Auctions and I want to thank them for planting the seeds of this idea! I have seen auctions by Nina Bagley, Shari Beubien and even Steven Colbert (auctioning off pieces of his old TV stage set)!!
As you know from previous recent posts, my family became very involved with Haiti when my brother Peter was a Peace Corps Volunteer, there, in the 1980's. As a result of the devastation by the recent Earthquakes, all of the world's eyes are focused on this tiny island and the wonderful people who struggle to call it home. I have descided to Auction this bracelet to raise funds to help this group of Artists. Matenwa is located off the coast of Haiti and is totally dependent on Port Au Prince for all supplies . It will take a very long time for this small village to recover and we will not here of it in the media. I will be conducting Semi -Annual art auctions to continue to support my sister artists, long after the eyes of the world have turned elsewhere.
