April: Angela Tycholaz
Custom watercolour painting of your home, similar to the works shown here
10x14” watercolour and ink original TBD, framed
About this piece:
In the days before Julie’s passing, Angela gifted Julie a watercolor painting of their family home. For this month’s auction, Angela is offering the winner a custom piece of their own home.
When asked about her inspiration, Angela says,
“Seeing how special this was for Julie was my inspiration to auction a custom home portrait.
Julie created a beautiful home full of love and memories for her family and that’s what her house meant to her. It was an open gathering space for community, a full library for connection and learning, and a sacred space for healing.
I want to capture through art what my clients home means to them while also supporting Julie’s cause and memory of her.”
You can watch a video of Julie opening the portrait of her home here, fair warning - you may want to have tissue nearby.
