the new BLACK— Volunteerism. VISION

There are Thank Yous for all those who stood behind my idea about motivating others to volunteer. First is to the Creator of all creators, from whom all blessings flow, THANK YOU!

Thank you to each and every volunteer who gave of themselves to be a part of this project. I am still blown away at your willingness to allow me to do this. This is further proof of the heart of the volunteer. It was impossible to paint all of you, however all are imperative to the message. You're all awesome individuals who made yourselves vulnerable for photoshoots and my prying into your lives. It's not an easy thing to do. Yet you stepped up to the plate to support my message of Volunteerism and the Visual Arts. Now that I've painted some of you, I promise never to tell who has one ear lower than the other. Thank You!

With Gratitude I'd like to thank the three non-profit organizations, whom when I explained my concept and needed volunteers to photograph, connected me with some of their own volunteers. This allowed me the opportunity to then present my concept to them and see if they wanted to support my message. These organizations also opened their doors allowing me access to shoot at their locations. Thank you so much for your faith and trust. It's really a huge deal in the days we live in. It teaches that we really must be the change we want to see in the world. Your cooperation was vitally important.
You may regret this the next time I come to you with a crazy idea, but it's too late...
the damage is done.
