Giving gratitude for Lutheran Community Services Northwest, Beaverton branch. In August 2024, I was honored to create two chalk designs for their program members to color during a celebration picnic. Youth and adults took time to chat, laugh, and get messy with pastels as they colored in these two designs inspired by words directed from the program itself – “Community, Culture, and Hope”.

Every year I allot an allowance of time for volunteering and/or discounting my commercial rates. If your nonprofit organization would like to take advantage of this give-back, please contact me early in your planning process. I can also help strategize on arts sponsors or funding opportunities.
