Seeing my home state of Georgia going blue and so close to flipping the Senate (!), I'm inspired to do what I can from the West Coast in support of the run-off elections this coming January, while simultaneously offering some support to my artist community.

This holiday season, I've assembled a fundraiser of original works of art, as well as classes, to be purchased in support of Stacey Abrams’s organization Fair Fight, which promotes fair elections by “encouraging voter participation, and educating voters about elections and voting rights.”

During this historic period of unemployment, I offered to let the artists determine the value of their work to allow for a sizable donation, while also best supporting themselves. Additionally, automatic processing fees charged by the payment platform will be taken out of the donation total. In the interest of transparency, the Fair Fight donation/artist rate/processing fee split of each item's price is listed.

Once an item has been purchased, you will receive an email from me with receipts for the donation to Fair Fight, and for the amount sent to the artist.  The buyer will then be contacted by the artist directly to coordinate shipping reimbursement or scheduling as needed.

Because this fundraiser is an exchange of goods/services, organized by one individual and not a non-profit organization, items bought from this fundraiser cannot be used as a tax write-off.
