Not long ago the Cheyenne Organization, Comea Shelter contacted the Cheyenne Artists Guild for help. In need of funds, Comea Shelter is planning a auction and asked the help of an artist to repair and decorate a lamp that was donated to the cause. Our own Cheyenne Artists Guild secretary, Donna Person stepped up to the plate and offered her services. Her wish is that by beautifying the lamp, it will help raise funds for the shelter in it's time of need.

"They are running out of money and they brought a very beat up, cracked, chipped lamp into the guild while I was there and wanted an artist to paint it, then afterwards for it to be auction off. I said I would. I had to repair it, fill in the cracks and chips. It was originally a pale blue. Was harder to repair than paint."
"I think the work the Comea Shelter does is really worthwhile. I have often been part of groups that donate meals for a week or helped in other ways. No one should be homeless in a country like ours but the number of families, teenagers, and old people is growing daily."

Fantasric! What a great job of creating something so beautiful out of "junk" and what a great cause.
ReplyDeleteDonna is wonderful thoughtful lady!!!
ReplyDeleteAs the Board Member from COMEA who brought in the lamp (bet you couldn't have gotten 25 cents at a garage sale for the original lamp), it is remarkable to see how Donna transformed this into a thing of beauty. COMEA is so appreciative of Donna giving of her time and TALENT. Liz Luce
