California Wildlife Center Fundraiser

Sunday, August 22, 2010 was the California Wildlife Center’s “Fawntasia” benefit for our native wildlife. It was a beautiful day at a beautiful place doing beautiful things for our wildlife rehabilitation. I was there helping my friend Michelle Nosco, founder of Arts for Earth Foundation. Arts for Earth have generated thousands of dollars in donations to the California Wildlife Center by creating pet portraits for their supporters. www.californiawildlifecenter.org.
We arrived at Gull’s Way Estate in Malibu and set up the booth in a great location. I was a great success, wonderful entertainment and food. Michelle donated a pet portrait for the silent auction. There was over 800 items for the Silent Auction and 8 high dollar items in the Live Auction. I personally met Gilles Marini, the hunky movie and television star, (Sex in the City, Brothers and Sisters, Dancing with the Stars). This man is so sweet and kind, what a thrill, he actually followed me to our booth and I showed him the three original drawing I had on exhibit and he took my business card. Really cool!
Next year I plan to have a piece in the Live Auction.
