There is an energy in the creative process that belongs in the league of those energies which can uplift, unify, and harmonize all of us.

I believe deeply that art helps and small moments of joy make a big difference. As an artist living in Minnesota, just outside Minneapolis, I’ve felt the deep impact that the presence of ICE has had on our community. I’ve also seen how regular citizens have banded together to create a support network to help our communities.

I’ve collected original art from amazing artists who’ve answered the call to help our community. I’ll be making art kits and sending them to families in need—who can’t leave their homes, who now have to participate in education online instead of in person, who just need a little joy in their life.

This is an evolving space where I’m using my superpower—art and community building—to make this world a better place.

Everyone is welcome to download and distribute. Recognize that artists have taken time to create unique, original art, please include their names if you share these.
