Mary Belknap for Creativity Explored
We have about 9 or 10 pieces of art work from Creativity Explored throughout our home and more pieces in storage. Creativity Explored is a nonprofit visual arts center for artists with developmental disabilities. 50% of the proceeds from all art sales go directly to the artist. This is an amazing organization I would encourage everyone to support.
Fill your Home with Art
Many of you love art and would love to collect art and make it more a part of your everyday life, but you just don’t have time to wander through galleries or research up and coming artists. I have found some wonderful websites that make it easy for you to become a collector with a few clicks of your mouse. You will want to check back often as they continually add new pieces and collections. You will brighten your home, bring a smile to your face, and inspire creativity in your children. Here are a few of my favorite finds:

If you are looking for a Mark Rothko oil painting for your living room, a Helen Frankenthaler print to put above your bed, or an Alexander Calder sculpture for your garden, you will likely want to check out the offerings coming to auction.
