CLICK HERE to see the series of SMALL AFFORDABLE PAINTINGS I am offering in participation of the Artist Support Pledge. The ASP was conceived by European artist Matthew Burrows in response the COVID-19 pandemic, as a way to help artists impacted by gallery closings, show cancellations, etc. In it, artists post images of small affordable works for sale for no more thank US$200 each. Every time an artist reaches $1000 through these sales, the artist pledges to buy $200 of work from another artist.
I will be posting new works periodically, so be sure to check back. If you would like to purchase something, contact me via the menu bar above or DM me on my Instagram page
