A fundraising project conceived by artist Lisa Riordon to benefit the children of Haiti after the devastating earthquake in 2010. Lisa painted daily for 40 days with the help of local elementary school students in Newburyport, MA. The project and resulting show came together quickly and dozens of volunteers made it a huge success. All originals sold and 100% of the proceeds were donated to Save the Children. Prints are always available - and we thank you for your support!

Day 27
Twenty five days of art are hung and I must say, it looks great! Between the framed pieces I've mounted photos of our kids painting for this project as well as children in Haiti... in makeshift school settings, playing and receiving medical care. Save the Children has set up large child-safe zones (day camps) intended to feed and nourish the minds and spirits of thousands of children safely each day. The photos are powerful and hopeful and the similarities between all these children cannot be missed.
I continue to paint, and will add the final pieces to the show before the reception and benefit on March 7th.
Today's painting is called "Pasta Fun" with help from Allison B. (22)
