Auction: Honoring Service Through Art

I’m honored to use my craft to give back to those who’ve given so much.
I’ll be hosting a special auction to raise funds for Upper Canyon Outreach — a nonprofit organization helping active-duty service members and Veterans heal, reconnect, and rebuild through the power of horses.

Through their equine-assisted programs, participants find space to breathe, rebuild trust, and rediscover a sense of purpose and belonging. Their work deeply resonates with me, both personally and creatively — and I’m proud to support their mission through this event.

What’s Being Auctioned

Two separate, one-of-a-kind creations will be auctioned off:

• Hand-Painted Dinnerware Set for Two
2 Plates, 2 Bowls, 2 Side Plates, 2 Mugs. This special set will be created after the auction, with the winning bidder selecting from a curated collection of designs. Please allow 3–4 weeks after the auction closes for their completion.

Custom “To-Go” Tumbler
The winning bidder will collaborate with me to design their very own hand-painted ceramic tumbler. Together, we’ll select motifs, color themes, and details that reflect their story and personality — creating a one-of-a-kind piece. Please allow 3–4 weeks after the auction closes for their completion.
