Art Auction Benefit at Phillips de Pury & Company
I was asked to donate work to the first annual art auction for the Children's Cancer and Blood Foundation to be held on September 15th, 2008 at Phillips de Pury & Company in New York City. For more information on the event and the artists involved in the auction, go here. I'll be donating an edition of prints of the above image entitled, "Mother and Fawns." I decided to donate this particular image because it was such a sweet and pure moment (of a mother deer feeding her two fawns) that I stumbled upon during a trip to Glacier National Park in the summer of 2006, shortly after my father passed away from cancer. I've been meaning to get more involved in raising money for cancer research and especially awareness for cancer prevention, so I intend to treat my involvement in this event as the beginning of a much greater longterm involvement.

It should hopefully be interesting.
