"Christmas at Captain White's"

Join me the day after Thanksgiving for the 24th Annual Holiday Gift Invitational 2011, "Christmas at Captain White's", at the Alamance County Arts Council Captain White House in Graham, NC (the big yellow building that looks like a dollhouse). There will be local artwork on display, including some of my own paintings and smaller mixed media work.  The Holiday Gift Invitational opens Friday, November 25th at noon and will continue through January 7th.   Regular hours are 9AM to 5PM at 213 S.

Congrats to the Northwest Cabarrus Middle Schoolers!  I’m so glad to have been a part of the October “pink out” and help raise money for Breast Cancer awareness by drawing kids having a great time with friends as they came together for a great cause: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=968933587458&set=vb.171938866182284&type=2&theater

Someone once asked me with a great deal of frustration… “Why does everybody care so much about BREAST cancer?” I immediately thought to myself, “Why WOULDN’T everybody care about breast cancer?  I realized then that this person wasn’t aware of anyone they knew having breast cancer, but had a loved one with another form of cancer.  I, like so many others, have a history of breast cancer in my family, but like this person, I am affected by other cancers and life-threatening diseases that cannot be forgotten… and won’t with everyone’s support.
