I have always enjoyed giving to charity. I believe that if everyone gives a little, we all benefit a lot. Although I contribute both monetarily and physically throughout the each year, my favorite form of giving is through my artwork. I never pass up a chance to donated paintings for philanthropic causes. For me, this brings twice the joy. Not only do I get the joy of helping those in need, but I get the joy of knowing someone appreciates my works enough to hang in their home.
