text: Mission accomplished! LIBERTE´has SOLD!! Last Friday at THE ART OF FOR EVENT for The Mahalia Project at de Sarthe Gallery Scottsdale, my custom art piece LIBERTÉ was auctioned off with proceeds going to The Mahalia Project, a human trafficking awareness organization, and Free Arts, transforming children’s trauma to resilience through the arts.
  Auctioning off a piece of artwork to a rather new audience was a first for me, so of course I had my trepidations- Would it sell? Would anyone even bid? Bottomline- would we be turning in a donation at the end of the night to make a difference? I am thrilled to share that we raised an impressive amount of money for these causes. (see video linked below for more BTS and a LIVE video from our event)
