Founded by Cid Palacio, The ART for Cancer Foundation is a non-profit organization, committed to improving the quality of life of people living with cancer by providing an outlet for creative expression through the arts, and by supporting research into the cause, control and cure of cancer.

This work is dedicated to my daughter and her courage. She is fighting leukemia (AML) and it is currently in remission.

Proceeds from the sale of this work have been donated to the AFC Foundation to help them continue the important work that they do. I am honored to donate money through the best way that I know how to do......my art!

Gabe's Gossip!
~ Observations from a Service Dog

Feature by Service Dog, Gabe

First sumi-e

Hi Everyone!


Here I am again this month.   

 

 I want to tell you about a very special event that took place on Maui on February 11, 2012. It was a Valentine Benefit for my training organization HCI - Hawaii Canines For Independence.

Casey always donates a beautiful giclee framed fine art print for the silent auction. She likes to help raise money for HCI to continue placing dog teams. This year she donated a print called 'Happy Little Swallow'.
Here it is!

Happy Little Swallow for HCI    

 

Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay" from French) is a process of making fine art prints from a digital source usung ink-jet printing. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints. Beside its association with Iris prints, in the past few years, the word "giclée," as a fine art term, has come to be associated with prints using fade-resistant "archival" inks. I'll bet you did not know I was so smart, huh? 

 

Be sure to visit my brilliant trainer Mo Maurer

Below is a great video from the Valentine Benefit event.  

 

The video shows highlights from the benefit and a mom talking about my friend, Tucker, who helped save her daughters life. Tucker is a therapy dog and works in a hospital on the island of Ohau. Tucker is a star!
