Every year I set out on a cross country adventure with my dogs and a tent. I get the opportunity to see things many Americans dream of and to feel the freedom of the open road.
I use this opportunity to work on the projects that are dear to me. Like last summer, I lived on the Pine RIdge reservation trying to help a family of 16 that was living in a trailer with no running water to get a small business off the ground. We planted gardens in the community to allow them to become a little more self sufficient and raised money for some wonderful youth activities that honor the Lakota way of life and give the children something to do in hopes these positive experiences will offer them a path other than the one to alcoholism and despair so many fall into.
This year I will be working with a new project. I recently read about a wonderful women who was caring for 100 stray dogs on her Social Security check and living out of a van, but still willing to sacrifice to care for those unwanted animals that were cruelly abandoned near her home of Oklahoma City. So Next week, just as soon as I can get everything ready to go, I will head that way. I will see what help I can offer. I dont know what I can do for them but I am willing to assist with whatever they need. If they need someone to give flea baths and scoop poop, that is what I will do.
Of course I have my own ideas and a plan to make them work, but Im sure they need another person with a plan like they need another stray dog:)
I hope, together, we can see this through to a happy ending. And as of right now I am offering my time and my talent to help raise the much needed funds for this project.
100 percent of all prints of my art work will go to this cause. Each print is signed and numbered and of archival quality, expected to last over 200 years without fading.
And best of all each print will buy a bag of dog food for some hungry animals.
