Art has a special way of bringing people together, and I’m grateful for opportunities to use my work to support fundraisers and causes that are near and dear to my heart. Each donation is a personal contribution of time, materials, and creativity, given because I believe in the cause.

All donation requests must be submitted through the contact form on this page. Please include information about your organization, the cause you support, your event date, and how the artwork will be used to raise funds. These details help me thoughtfully consider each request.

Please understand that an artwork’s stated value does not translate into an equivalent tax write-off for me as its creator. My donations are made to support the cause, not in exchange for payment or an expectation of financial benefit.

If you receive a donation, photos of the artwork at your event and a brief update on the fundraiser are always appreciated. An honest review or a few words about your experience would also mean a great deal. These are never required, but they help me celebrate the impact of the donation and share the story behind it.

Thank you for thinking of my work as part of something meaningful.

Past Fundraisers

Stepping Out

Stepping Out was donated as a prize for the White Fences Championship Series. The painting was presented by Carmen Elsa Franco to Juan Matute Sr. in recognition of his achievement as the series’ winning trainer.

The Master

Carl Hester needs no introduction, but we’ll give him one anyway! An Olympic gold medalist and one of dressage’s most celebrated riders and trainers, Carl has inspired equestrians around the world.

I created this painting of Carl and Nip Tuck for a silent auction benefiting the Equestrian Aid Foundation at a master symposium in Massachusetts sponsored by NEDA. A heartfelt thank-you to Mary Phelps for bringing me on board to support the foundation alongside Markel and NEDA. It was an honor to contribute my artwork to a cause that helps people in the equestrian community.

Highest Bid

Highest Bid carries a distinction few works of art can claim — it was commissioned specifically to be presented to the highest bidder at the prestigious Stal Hendrix auction held at WEC in March 2024.

Stal Hendrix, one of the most respected names in the warmblood sport horse world, gifted this original as the crown jewel of their celebrated auction — a work of fine art worthy of the caliber of horses and buyers in the room. To own a horse from that auction was an achievement. To receive this painting alongside it was something else entirely.

The original has found its home with that winning bidder. What remains is the legacy of the moment — and the opportunity to own a museum-quality canvas print of a painting born from one of the sport's most prestigious stages.

     

    Showstoppers

    Created for a NEDA master class, Showstoppers features Charlotte Dujardin and Valegro. This painting was contributed in support of a NEDA charity, bringing art and equestrian excellence together for a meaningful cause.

    Because of You

    Because of You was donated at the World Cup to raise funds for Region 9 Dressage. A heartfelt thank-you to Anne Suisko for arranging the donation. Pictured here are dressage judge Janet Foy and Canadian rider Karen Palovich, sharing in a special moment of support for the dressage community.

    Supporting KWPN

    For about six years, I’ve been proud to donate a print or an original painting each year to support the KWPN breeders association. KWPN of North America promotes and preserves Dutch Warmblood horses, supporting breeders and owners through education, registration, inspections, and programs that recognize excellence in equestrian sport. It’s a pleasure to give back to a community whose dedication helps shape the remarkable horses that inspire my work.

    Promising

    I was delighted to present my painting, Promising, to Endel Ots and Lucky Strike alongside Mary Phelps and Markel Insurance at the Young Horse Championship at Lamplight in Illinois. It was a pleasure to celebrate the talent and dedication behind this promising partnership and to share in an event devoted to developing young horses. Thank you to Susan Stickle for capturing this special presentation.

    Painting Wellington Orange for Brooke USA

    Some causes hold a special place in my heart, and Brooke USA is one of them. I was honored to donate two paintings to a fundraiser that helped paint Wellington orange in support of this meaningful work.

    Brooke USA helps improve the health and welfare of working horses, donkeys, and mules, along with the lives of the people who depend on them. Supporting these hardworking animals also supports families and communities around the world.

    This cause is truly near and dear to me. If it speaks to your heart too, please consider joining me in supporting Brooke USA. You can make a donation at Brooke USA’s donation page. Every act of kindness helps carry this work forward.
