Clean Water Foundation raises money!

First there was a night to remember as Tia Art Gallery reveals the never before seen Soul Shine Series artwork! The crowd meandered through the gallery to view the beautiful paintings while sipping bubbly and enjoying delicious hors d’oeuvres, inspired by all that the Soul Shine Series.

The event’s artwork featured paintings from the heart of the very talented artist, Tiffany Brownlee, who has dedicated her art to inspiring others to practice self love and find their true purpose. Tia’s mission is to help heal hearts through her art, and share her powerful story having lost a loved one to suicide.

The Soul Shine Series promotes suicide awareness in hopes that others will understand their true value and find purpose, as Tia has found hers through pursuing her art. Each beautifully curated piece is a reminder to let your Soul Shine, and to never give up on life. This idea is depicted through each piece by the careful placement of the SemiColon, a symbol which represents a continuation of a sentence, or the idea that the story isn’t over.

Tia Gallery Doors opened at 6:30 Oct 21, 2022, for the event at Talk of the Town and Nov. 18th as part of the Kirkland Chamber of Commerce Wine Walk.

November 20th at Volterra’s Italian Restaurant

Thank you very much for letting me be part of the fundraising, it was very significant to be able to contribute since during the time I lived in Mexico I had such an experience of not having clean water in the community, that’s why I believed that this foundation is important and I like the idea of ​​being able to collaborate through art.  Art is very important to me as it is easier for me to express myself through painting and the event at the Volterra restaurant was a great experience for me and I am very grateful that I was able to participate.

At the event Leon shared about the successful installation for 200 children and their families along with our water installations this summer in Peru and on the Hopi and Navajo Reservation with Ernest Taho at the Elementary School and the Elementary School teachers homes and our installations with the Blackfeet tribe from Montana.
