As many of you know, I work with an organization called Revolutionary Media. We call our selves
"philanthropic artists", who use our art to give back to the community and help in ways that others cannot. This month, I am working on a multimedia piece for a group in Battle Ground called Avonlea Acres. It is a transitional home for unwed mothers. Not only does Avonlea give the girls a place to stay, the qualified staff helps train these young women to be successful, productive, and self sustaining mothers.
I am really excited about this piece and believe it will be a fantastic opportunity to raise support for a really worthy cause.
Last Saturday I spent 6 hours at Avonlea, taking pictures for our multimedia piece. I also took portraits of the young women who are now staying there. This portrait is of Vanessa, a young woman who is studying to be a cosmetologist. And as an extra little fun tidbit, she is also a fabulous sketch artist.
Will keep you all updated on the project as it progresses!
