I am grateful that what gives my joy and fulfils my heart, painting, has helped to raise money for our friends in Nepal who have experienced numerous earthquakes and many tragedies including displacement, loss, injuries and death. We raised for them, $8000 at our recent Nepal Earthquake Benefit. I am so happy it was a such a huge success. The event, was held at Art Obsessions Gallery where we had Tibetan Scholar and former monk Lobsang Samten open the event. 

Working on the event with organising, media relations, Facebook posting and liaising with various people helped to create a wonderful result. 

Thank you to everyone involved; David and Jordan from Art Obsessions, Nancy Porten from Changing Lives Nepal, Lobsang Samten, Colleen Akiko from Essential Wellbeing, Chris from Solar Wind Works, David Norton for your painting, Stacey from the Painted Vine, Mark from Truckee Local Chiropractic, Aaron from Bluestone Gallery, Drew from Dark Horse Coffee Roasters, Evan from SBS Media House and Billy from New Moon Natural Foods and to all the other amazing people who shared their love and contributed in so many different ways. We love you all!
