.art with a cause

If You Foundation has helped and helps over 48k families around the Central Florida area, it identifies challenges for children and creates new opportunities and initiatives to help solve them.

Partnering with the foundation at an event which purpose was to raise funds and make these opportunities possible was of a great honor for me.

I did a Speed Paint Live Performance drenched in a meaningful message that spoke to every woman’s heart at that day. The speed paint was executed in 6 minutes, while a song which message is of woman empowerment was played.

The art revealed in the end was of a colorful butterfly which carries a special meaning to the foundation’s founder and was shared with every woman present there right after the performance. The personal experiences shared through the symbolism of a butterfly in her own life and career brought a message of courage, resilience and empowerment, which she was only able to express visually through an special art piece made by me.
