It’s my party and I’ll help if I want to! That’s right, friends. My 40th birthday is coming up in March. I’m not getting the birthday celebration I originally wanted thanks to the pandemic, but I can still celebrate with all of you in a special and meaningful way. This year, I’m asking everyone to help me make a positive impact as your gift to help me celebrate. 

I’ve chosen three special local organizations I’m encouraging donations to, in order to help me celebrate my big Four-Oh. These are all close to my heart and they connect to what my art is all about—sharing the joy of nature, preserving wild lands, and helping creatures big and small.

• Tower Hill Botanic Garden
• The Trustees of Reservations
• Urban Wildlife Rehabilitation Inc. 

More about them and how to donate are found below.
