City Hall Artist Reception May 18, 2011

Just a quick post about the next show I am in that starts with an artist reception this Friday night from 5-8pm at San Francisco City Hall.  I will have some older work from my 2007 Out-of-Sorts body of work in Supervisor David Chiu’s office, second floor, room 264.  The show will be up through 8/19, so you have plenty of time to drop by and see the work.  More information about the venue can be found here, including the other artists showing and the other Supervisors participating.  Hope to see you at the reception!

Big Thanks! Auction Attendees, et. al. January 18, 2011

A big thank you to everyone who came out Sunday evening to the Art Auction/Fundraiser for our friend Natalie Hardcastle.  There is no right combination of words to express our gratitude for your support and contributions in effort to raise money for Natalie and her family.  The generosity of art, cash, in-kind donations, attendees, those who purchased work and moral supporters was overwhelming.  Almost every art piece found a new home.  It was because of all of you that we raised over $18,000 to help payoff Natalie’s medical expenses.

The list of contributors is still growing and we are most grateful for your help.  This was truly a beautiful experience and we hope that everyone will continue to support and aid those in need in whatever manor you are able.  Way to rally, all!

Natalie Hardcastle and Bob Nugent

It’s almost here!   The art auction and fundraiser for our friend Natalie Hardcastle.  Please join Rick Kantor, Bob Nugent, Mark Perlman, Kurt Kemp and the caring art community of Sonoma who have rallied together prominent artists from across the country for this private fundraiser of great art at affordable prices.  The event happens this Sunday, January 16 from 4-7pm at Terrasanti, 11790 Main St., Suite E, Penngrove, CA.

Natalie recently underwent brain surgery to remove a golf ball sized tumor, just 4 short months after she gave birth to her second son. Natalie is a talented artist, advocate for the arts, former art student of Sonoma State University and one of the most kind-hearted people you will ever meet.  100% of the money raised will go to pay off medical expenses that are not covered by Nat’s insurance. If there are any additional funds remaining they will be donated to the UCSF Medical Foundation for research.  Please come and support Natalie and her family.

January 16th, Save the Date : Art Auction-Fundraiser December 21, 2010

Please join me from 4-7pm on January 16th, 2011 at the Art Auction-Fundraiser for Natalie Hardcastle.  The auction will take place at Terrasanti, 11790 Main Street Ste E, Penngrove, CA 94951.

Many quality small artworks will be auctioned off, 12”x12” or smaller and nothing over $300, with bids starting much lower than that.  100% of the money raised will go towards medical expenses that are not covered by Natalie’s insurance, who recently underwent extensive surgery to remove a brain tumor shortly after having her second child.  As you can imagine, this was not a simple or inexpensive surgery.  Any additional  funds remaining will be donated to the UCSF Medical Foundation for research.

All donations will be tax deductible: both art donated and purchased.  So please join in on the fun January 16th, buy some art, and help support Natalie and her family.  Below is my own contribution to the event, bated breath.  See you there!
