Hello, friends!
Paintings, sculptures, and jewelry are still on exhibit and up for sale as part of Art Ability, Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital’s annual fundraising art show to support artists and patients living with disabilities. It is Art Ability’s 30th anniversary, On the works can be seen online or at the hospital itself, located in Malvern, PA. One of the four paintings I have in the show sold on opening night in November, but the others are still for sale alongside works from an international array of artists. You can search by artist name at the link, or just browse through this eclectic collection or paintings, photographs, and jewelry.
One of my favorite paintings is in this year’s show-- “don’t worry / we’re all friends here”—which was a delight to watch unfold and helped me see a little bit more of the magic of this world.
Happy holidays!
