Tiny Showcase features different artists each week and a portion of the sales of the print goes to a charity of the artists choice. As a pet parent who draws (literally!) so much of my inspiration from my animal companions, I choose Hearts United for Animals as my artwork's charity.

The organization rescues dogs from all over the country and specializes in long distance adoptions. They take creatures who are lost, afraid, hungry or ill and comfort them, give them a warm, soft bed, good food, medical care and most of all, love. $250 dollars from the sale of this print will be donated to the organization.

-------------------------------------------------

In 2007 I had the pleasure of visiting Ozu, Japan through a home-stay program. There I worked with high school art students and with other area artists. While the beauty, incredible history, and culture of Japan was breathtaking, it was the kindness of the people that touched my heart.

 

 My alma mater, Hastings College, has a sister city program exchange, where people from Japan come and stay 10 days with members of the community, and we then, in turn, get to visit their town Ozu. We exchange ideas, local customs and food, and share what we do. It was an incredible experience for me, and for all those who take part say it is something they never forget and make lifelong friends in the process. 

Like many who heard about the Earthquake and Tsunami that hit Japan, I was just stunned. Destruction like that is so hard to comprehend and as news and photos came in it was unbelievable. The generosity that I was shown while in Japan was incredibly touching and I will always remember it, and now, facing the wreckage of the earthquake and tsunami the people of Japan's courage and kindness is more apparent than ever. I did this piece specifically for the disaster relief fund, I felt like I needed to do something, however small it may be.

I'm super excited to be part of Tiny Showcase again! Tiny Showcase features high quality affordable prints, and portions of the proceeds go to a charity of the artists choosing. Below is information about the charity I chose.

"Nicole has chosen the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers as her artwork's charity. The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers identifies teenagers with exceptional artistic and literary talent and brings their work to a national audience through The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. The Awards have a legacy dating back to 1923 and a noteworthy roster of past winners including Andy Warhol, Sylvia Plath, Truman Capote, Richard Avedon, Robert Redford and Joyce Carol Oates. The Awards are an important opportunity for students to be recognized for their creative talents. Teens in grades 7 through 12 can apply in 30 categories of art and writing for the chance to earn scholarships and have their works exhibited or published. $250 dollars from the sale of Nicole's artwork will be donated to the organization."

I chose this organization to support because I had the opportunity to participate in it when I was in high school. It was very exciting and it helped me gain confidence in my artwork! It is so important for young people to have the opportunity to showcase their strengths in the arts and and I am very thankful for the art events I got to participate in growing up.

Visit Tiny Showcase to purchase the print. Thanks!
