Annie at CEDAR MAZE Art Show, PA

Dear Friends,

I am very excited to be showing my artwork at the 10th Cedar Maze Art Show in Point Pleasant, PA, on May 9, 10, 11, 17 and 18th.

I was invited by Steven and Pinky Snyder to be part of a group of very talented artists from the Bucks County area. Steven is a self-taught stone sculptor, and when I first visited his studio/home I was overwhelmed by the magical atmosphere he had created with his stone carvings of bird baths, fountains, angel statues and many other unusual creations. I was quite amazed at how 'alive' the stone appeared... it was like being in 'Wonderland'.
 
This year the art show will also be a fundraiser with a percentage of sales going to Fauna and Flora International, to support improved access to water for communities living outside Volcanoes National Park in northwest Rwanda's Ruhengeri region. Specifically the funds raised will go towards building a water holding tank, so local villagers can store water much need during the dry season. At present, villagers seeking water may have to walk miles into the park to find a water supply, sometimes disturbing the habitat of endangered mountain gorillas who were brought to the world's attention by Dian Fossey and the movie, Gorillas in the Mist. Our hope is to help both the villagers and the gorillas in this endeavor.
 
I can promise an inspiring fun day amidst the beautiful Bucks County countryside and look forward to seeing you there.

Love  and Peace,

'Seal Haven' Cards to HELP BABY SEALS

Dear Friends,

In late November of 2007, I offered the 'Seal Haven' greeting card (pictured at right), in order to help raise awareness about the plight of the Polar Bears.

This has been an ongoing situation that needs to be kept 'alive' in the hearts and minds of us all.

At this time I am once again offering the cards to help the innocent Baby Seals in Canada, that are about to be mercilessly slaughtered at the hands of man! How cruel and senseless.

I pray every day, and visualize a future where the planet, mankind, and 'all' animals are equally loved and respected. If enough people channeled positive energy dedicated to that end, there will surely be a shift in consciousness that will in turn make this glorious world, once again, a beautiful, loving, and safe place to be.

I purposely designed the cards to be used year round, so please consider purchasing a set for family and friends too. I thank you ahead of time for your continued support and generosity on behalf of all precious animals, without whom this planet would not survive.

These cards are on behalf of 'The Humane Society of the United States', and all the proceeds will go to help the Baby Seals as well as the Polar Bears.

The inscription inside the card reads: Love Light and Peace

For Classical Musical Lovers

Dear Friends,

If you are a lover of fine classical music, please take a look at the attached site: www.ClassicalMusicPhiladelphia.com. It will give you information about upcoming classical concerts in Philadelphia. At the top of the page is a link to Mario Lanza, whose voice I love and remember from my childhood...ahhhh 'The Student Prince'. 

Andrea Clearfield is also a great talent. I 'painted' one of her compositions called 'ROMANZA' !!!  Please take a moment to visit their sites.

It is an honor to have my art shown on the same page with all these notable musicians and composers...

Love and Peace,
