Community service is very important to me. I have a great desire to give back to the community which has welcomed, helped to forge and continues to support my craft.

I was honored to be asked to donate a painting for the 2007 annual Hope Junior Benefit Silent Auction for the Hope Junior Program at the Marillac Social Center.

The Marillac House is an amazing social center sponsored by the Daughters Of Charity. The services provided by Marillac House are numerous and benefit the working poor of Chicago's West Side. Please follow the link below if you are interested in volunteering or donating to this worthy cause.
