The RED Art Project 2009

The RED Party date

has been changed to

January 31, 2009.

Mark your calenders.

The Red Party, a fundraiser for Life Through Art Foundation is a great event that raises monies to support educational opportunities in the arts for young students. Each year the event honors someone who has lived their Life Through Art.....well, this years honoree is going to be Jenny Doh, Editor-in-Chief and Director of Publishing for Somerset Studio, Belle Armoire, and 29 fabulous sister publications!

Artists from all across the country as well as Canada and Italy have donated beautiful pieces of art for the auction. Here are some photos of the incredible art that arrived.

To all the Artists,

Because you have chosen to live your life through art you are helping support a child who has not had the opportunity to experience the arts. Some of these children have never had color crayons, many have never seen a theater performance. Because of your graciousness your art will not only enhance the visual life of the person who is fortunate enough to purchase your piece, but will give art opportunities to the kids. For that, I am extremely humbled and grateful.

Thank you.

Update on the calenders as soon as I hear.....

RED Art Project Artist: Tinsell and Whimsey

Sue, at Tinsell and Whimsy is an artist who's life is all about art. She is one of those people who I have the pleasure of knowing and can truly say that she lives her Life Through Art. Every thought, every action, every story is connected to her creative muse.......a clown!

Sue's story:

I create one-of-a-kind folk art ........always with a pun! You can literally see my fingerprints on everything I make.

For me the journey of creating art is almost more important than the resulting art. I am most always on a new journey somewhere, usually without any preconceived notions of where I am going. To forget any artistic techniques I have learned and to make mistakes is my freedom in creation.

By day and sometimes at night too, I help at our family winery Madonna estate doing art related projects, such as labels, etc., and whatever else is needed. I like to work on my personal creations into the night from about 11:00pm until about 3:00am. I find this time to be my most creatively inspired. I love all manner of junk, found objects, and oddities, and I am absolutely, passionately, wild about creating the art of Halloween.
