Poppies For Ethiopia 2008
All proceeds from my Poppies for Ethiopia 2008 series benefitted the Cunningham Foundation http://www.cunninghamfoundation.org which assists Project Mercy in Yetebon, Ethipoia, by providing breakfast, lunch, education, uniforms and shoes to 1,500 children. Armed with school and art supplies, I traveled to Yetebon with the foundation in November 2008 and worked with the local school children. We painted murals and did some amazing sidewalk chalk. This trip was such an amazing gift to me, and my life was forever changed. All 11 original paintings.have sold, which earned over $4000 for the foundation. Prints, however, are available for purchase on my Fine Art America page: http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/laurie-maves.html
