Fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity -- StencilGirl Stencils to the Rescue!


House Key is the title I chose for this artwork on gallery-wrap canvas, created with a number of geometric StencilGirl stencils -- L046, L326, S269, L407, S265, L235, L237 and L046 --

With the same assortment of StencilGirl stencils, I created a "back-up" piece, also on gallery-wrap canvas, entitled Searching for Home --

It's no coincidence that both pieces have a "home/house" themed-title.

The artwork was created in response to a special project underway at the Guild of Creative Art, Shrewsbury, NJ, where I have Exhibiting Membership.   Created by Guild Co-President David Levy, with the help of other Guild members, this project will culminate on October 29, the fifth anniversary of the devastation of Hurricane Sandy -- a storm that had tragically taken the lives of several people, as well as destroyed or severely damaged a staggering number of homes along the Northeast Atlantic shore.  The project, a work of cooperation between the Guild and Habitat for Humanity, will include an October 28 reception at the Guild, when donated artworks will be used in fundraising for Habitat for Humanity. 

Donated artworks will come from Guild members, having been invited to create art based on the floor-plan of new homes built by Habitat for Humanity.

Because I now work exclusively in abstracts, I created the above abstraction based on that floor-plan --



  

Yes, it's quite a stretch of imagination to go from this floor-plan to the painting at the top of this post!  But that's abstraction!
