I am doing volunteer work for Union Hall Gallery who is generously donating their lovely exhibition space for an L.A. Fire fundraiser taking place on April 4-6 & 11-13. This is a chance to purchase artwork from over 400 pieces that we are in process of installing. All proceeds go to Grief and Hope: LA Art World Fire Relief Fund. Come!
