This came to me in an email from the Friends of Fort Vancouver. Please read it, share it, and help Lilian if you can:
Most of us in the Northwest experienced unpleasantries or worse during the snow and ice storm in January. A few folks were much harder hit like our artist friend and associate Lillian Pitt. Calamity struck when a pipe burst in her studio flooding her workshop, soaking tools and art materials beyond use, and leaving a trail of lost artworks in its wake. The Friends have joined with other supporters' efforts to hasten the restoration of Ms. Pitt's studio. Friderke Heuer's blog tells the story here: https://www.heuermontage.com/?p=55204.
Artists Analee Feuntes (a long time friend of Ms. Pitt's) and Susan Detroy (PRN Gallery in Eugene, OR) joined forces for a new exhibit opening February 7, 2024, and the Friends are encouraging people to purchase Ms. Pitt's works for a quick return of dollars for the restoration project. We have a generous selection of Lillian's works in our gallery as well as artworks on her website at https://www.lillianpitt.shop. There is also a GoFundMe account sponsored on Lillian's behalf: https://www.gofundme.com/f/lillian-needs-our-help
Any contribution is greatly appreciated -- good wishes most of all!
My name is Analee Fuentes and I'm writing to ask for your help on behalf of Lillian Pitt. As mo… Analee Fuentes needs your support for Lillian needs our help
