Raising Lyme Awareness Through My Artwork

The holiday season is all about giving and also reflecting on what is most important in our lives. In my case, I have been on treatment for chronic Lyme for a year now. I find I don't take things for granted like I used to and although there's still a lot of things I haven't yet been able to do again I am determined to try to focus more on what I CAN do, like inspiring others through my artwork. 

Lyme disease currently doesn't have the public spotlight as much as other illnesses, such as cancer or AIDS, and so for this holiday season I have endeavored to help raise awareness of chronic Lyme.  

5% of all my November and December art sales will be donated to the all volunteer, national non-profit Lyme Disease Association (LDA). Its not going to change the world, but I hope it will contribute to more (healthy) people learning about the severity of tick-borne illness in the US. 

Shop locally in VT at: The Block Gallery & Coffeehouse (Winooski), Artists' Mediums (Williston) and Guy's Farm & Yard (Williston). Shop online at Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/NatureHeartStudio With your support, I do believe we can make a difference.

Many Thanks & Happy Holidays!
