Stool Pigeons

I am honored to have been invited to create an original piece for the upcoming Chairish the Future charity event on Saturday, Feb. 27th.  Each participating artist was asked to paint a second-hand chair to be auctioned off at the gala.  My chair, entitled "Stool Pigeons", is actually a stool featuring two pigeons gossiping on a limb.  The auction proceeds benefit the Atlanta Furniture Bank which distributes essential home furnishings to individuals and families moving out of homelessness, fleeing domestic violence and living with HIV/AIDS.  The event's honorary chair and host is Vern Yip of HGTV.  I am a big fan of his and am hoping to get a chance to meet him at the gala!
