Phoebe Washer Memorial Retrospective & Art Sale

I had the pleasure of having Phoebe in my painting class this spring, sadly she passed away in a tragic accident.  She was a very talented young lady and is sorely missed.  You can see her work, and some great shirts based on her works, at www.phoebewasher.com.

This memorial show, in LA, of Phoebe's works includes an art sale of work by other artists, myself included, to benefit the Phoebe Washer Foundation of the Arts, which  will assist schools in buying art supplies for kids.  I have donated a recent piece from the Dia de los Muertos series.  Please spread the word to friends in LA.
