Special Event

ANNOUNCING THE COMPLETION OF THE POPPY PROJECT!

I’m pleased to announce that the Poppy Project is officially completed! My adult art students and I were happy to donate our time and expenses for the six months it took to produce the mural.

I assigned each artist a space and a painting from the Old Masters, such as Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Cezanne etc., to be converted to fit the mural so it can form a poppy from Georgia O’Keefe collection.

It was a complicated venture and we donated all of the funds to the Veterans.
