Rise Up Kingston Grassroots Fund Drive

June 15th-June29th 2021

I am taking custom commissions for lung prints in exchange for donations in any amount to Rise Up Kingston. The prints come from a deep place for me. I’ve been making them while thinking about our unequal relationships to breath. Rise Up Kingston is a grassroots organization that works on housing justice, is committed to defunding the police and works towards a world without prisons. It is led by those experiencing racism, classism and gender oppression.

These are mono prints printed on high quality printmaking paper using oil based inks. Each print is unique. The prints are roughly 11.5 x 17.5” I can make them in ruby/magenta, purple/lavendar or black

Please make your donation to RUK at this link then fill out the form below. Donate what you can, $40 suggested or whatever you can afford- no amount too big or small.
