original art for WNDB fundraiser

hello all!

i’m honored to be on the advisory board

for the amazing We Need Diverse Books team.

they just started an indiegogo campaign to raise

$100k for the great initiatives they plan to

implement in the near future, including the Walter

Dean Meyers award and grant program, the WNDB kidlit

festival in 2016, and working with various organizations

to bring diverse books directly into the classrooms.

please consider contributing to this great cause!

even five dollars, the money you’d spend on a frapp,

would help!

i’ve offered an original brush painting as an incentive

for a $400 donation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Nestled Chick” is bordered in light green

chinese matting (mounted in the traditional

chinese style) and measures 22 1/4W x 17 3/4H.

Not shown is the calligraphy for “Spring Color”

(in chinese) and a red chop bearing my chinese name.

an example of the light green bordering (it resembles

brocade but too fine to see in this photo) is used

for matting in this bird painting below.

please check out WNDB fundraiser page and consider

supporting through a donation OR sharing the love on

social media. thank you!!
