Mini Masterpiece shown at New Britain Museum of American Art gala auction
When the New Britain Museum of American Art asks for a contribution, the answer is YES! I'm always thrilled to be a part of the museum's fundraising efforts. I contributed a "mini masterpiece" to their gala auction, and word on the street is that it sold to a lucky donor. I'm happy that my tiny paintings have made their mark. As a practioner, I will always contribute artwork to causes that I believe in.
