Today I am thinking of my mother as I get ready to travel to Artexpo New York for the dedication of my new painting "Light of Hope". I created this piece to help raise funds for the Alzheimer's Foundation of America, an organization dear to my heart. Mom passed away at the young age of 55 due to Alzheimer's, and art therapy was an important part of her care. Learn more about the unveiling and the work I am doing with the AFA at blendcota.com/collaboration-alzheimers-foundation-america/
