Artist Kathryn D. Kennedy, whose work is on display through July 29th at Cafe Umbria (622 Olive Way, Seattle) is donating proceeds from her show to LIHI's Tiny House Village Program.
Artist Statement:
"I’ve always cherished a sense of community in the places I live. Having recently moved from Capital Hill to Pike Place Market, I’ve never felt that more profoundly. The homeless community, my new Neighbors, need support from their community, our community, more than ever.
I have never sought to sell my paintings, but in thinking about the tremendous need to provide support for our homeless Neighbors, I have decided to sell them and donate all proceeds to LIHI Tiny Home projects. The Tiny House Village project represents incredible creativity and tenacity. And I am proud to play a small part in it.
My paintings try to challenge the viewer to create a story as to what the figures are doing or discussing. Every viewer will have their own interpretation. Additional work can be viewed on my web site."
A donation for a painting of $2250 will pay for half of the cost of building a Tiny Home.
Where: Cafe Umbira, 622 Olive Way, Seattle
When: through July 29th
