Congratulations to the winner of the pet portrait, Steve Maestas.

Thank you to everyone who purchased a raffle ticket in support of the Downtown Phoenix YMCA.

And to everyone who was asking… the Veggie Paella was from SAPNA cafe, on Grand Ave. (next to Bragg’s Pie Factory.)

Photos of pieces I created for Parenting Arizona honorees. Avnet, First Things First, Ed Pastor and the Bidwill Family. To be presented at the 3/26 fundraising event. Parenting Arizona is a subsidary of Chicanos Por La Casa.

I recently painted an old recycled fridge from SRP. The project is part of a campaign to bring awareness to the Refrigerator Recycling program.

The fridge I painted has a theme of a Modern Cowgirl, also know as Vaquero Moderna.

“Sapna Café, a clean-lined but utterly winsome outpost for healthy, globally inspired food situated on Grand Avenue and McKinley Street, of all places. Doesn’t sound like a dining destination, does it? Well, that’s how much Phoenix is changing. Housed at the pointy, pie-wedge end of the old Bragg’s Pie Building (a ’40s-era testament to Streamline Moderne), this tiny, sunlit café - its long windows hung with gauzy Indian prints, its walls filled with whimsical art - has an urban vibe that perfectly suits this funky, up-and-coming neighborhood. There’s a renaissance going on here as shops, restaurants and galleries move into architecturally interesting buildings (many historic) that have gone neglected for years.So although Sapna chef-owner Ana Borrajo is a self-described globetrotter, she’s a pioneer too, taking a risk on a part of town that’s still considered iffy.”

Here are some pics of Desiree and I working together on our artwork.

This project pairs artists with children with JRA  [Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis]. The two work together to create a piece of artwork. The artwork is then auctioned off at an October fundraiser. The money raised goes towards scholarships for JRA children to attend special camps especially created for their needs, conducted throughout the year. I have been paired with a very creative young girl named Desiree. I’ll post photos as we go through our creative process. I didn’t get a photo of her on the first night, but I did make another friend, Abby, who is five - but will be six very soon. (Jen and Abby below, discussing “Cinderella 3.”)
