Welcome!


Upon being inspired (and reminded) by a recent post in a group we are part of it's been decided that it was time to "breathe life into" an old idea we had back in 2009.  The "Pink Pride Project"...

Upon being part of Lissa Rankin's community "Owning Pink" it came to us one day that as an artist we could help support our fellow women through charitable donations.  So was born the beginning of the idea.  The premise behind this project is that artists of various sorts will gather together and make "women" oriented art.  "Women" oriented art is a pretty general reference though, so to clarify what we mean:  art that expresses the essence of the feminine through color, subject matter, or use.  (Like a necklace, a woman's scarf, something pink, purple, or some other traditionally "feminine" color, etc.)  Part (or all - at the the discretion of the artist) of the proceeds will be donated through the project to a woman-oriented charity.  At the moment we are focusing on charities for battered or abused women, but we are not restricting the type of charities aside from they be women oriented.  (We did however decide to not go with the immediate thought of breast cancer because there has been a lot done for it already.)

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, suggestions, or would like to join in this effort feel free to contact us!

Celebrating and supporting femininity one step at a time!
