"I was inspired by the poem Untitled because I really felt like it hit home for every girl/woman living in America. 'Sometimes being female is scary but you need to stand strong together, girls have power!'"
Kinsey Sandford always loved art since a child as she honed her craft she really started to enjoy drawing portraits of people and form there, animals, and then nature. Kinsey thinks our world provides enough unique beauty to create from and that's what really inspires her when she sits down to draw. She loves color and will use it as much as possible. She keeps things simple and true to form because every imperfection in this world is complete perfection in her eyes.

Inspired by - Rising Above by Brooklyn from A.B Hart School

"I am often overwhelmed by the many turns my life has taken and I, too, feel the emotional struggles. While reading this poem, I felt shadows of myself and how it reminds me to keep pushing my boundaries, to keep moving forward, and to keep focusing on the positive."
Tom Desko has been painting for over 40 years and draws inspiration from his traveling adventures, as well as, the wonderful City of Cleveland. Each piece he creates, for himself or by request, is a unique expression of a story, "I would love to hear one of yours and maybe share one of my own."

Suggested Value: $150.00
Local Pick Up Only
"We selected this poem (Maria Varonis and 1 -- she did the painting, I did the woodwork) because it was a poem about strength and growth. We loved the butterfly imagery because butterflies transform and soar -- which takes strength, despite how delicate they are. And they are unique in their design and beauty, which we felt represents all humans on this earth as well."
Justin Seeker is a local woodworker - he loves turning wood that would normally be discarded into something beautiful and/or functional. Recently he's begun turning wood into bowls and other rounded shapes which has been a really therapeutic and rewarding addition to his craft.
