What an incredible evening celebrating 80 years of Lighthouse for the Blind of the Palm Beaches! Such an elegant and beautifully organized VIP reception, hosted by FineMark Bank & Trust.
I was truly honored to see Full Circle featured on the big screen throughout the evening and a beautiful display specially prepared for my painting Before the Flame.
But the most memorable moment came when Tekesha Saffold who is blind, spoke so beautifully about Other Views Project and my artistic journey. She had memorized my biography and delivered such a heartfelt introduction that I could barely hold back my emotions. A moment I will always treasure.
My heartfelt thanks to the entire Lighthouse team for including me and Other Views Project in this wonderful celebration. It was a privilege to be part of it!
