Kell Glass Charity Partner:
Arts for Life is a North Carolina nonprofit with art programs that serve pediatric patients in hospitals and clinics. When I first learned about this organization, I felt immediately connected. My own passion for art was discovered as a result of difficult times when I was younger, and while my struggles cannot be compared to what the Arts for Life kids are going through, I personally know how something as simple as a paint brush (or a shard of glass in my case) can bring joy and ease anxiety during challenging times.
Arts for Life brings the transformative power of art to children in hospitals and treatment clinics, and I'm honored to be a small part in helping make that happen.
Fire Opal: 2025 annual benefit sculpture
Annual benefit sculpture:
Each year I dedicate one of my signature sculptures to benefit Arts for Life with 100% of sale proceeds donated to the organization. For 2025, the bright reds and iridescent sparks of my Fire Opal sculpture honor Arts for Life's mission of inspiring courage through creativity for pediatric patients and their families. [SOLD!]
Rise & Shine benefit sculpture:
Arts for Life hosts its annual Rise & Shine breakfast every October and I'm grateful that my 2024 event sculpture SHINE ON helped the organization raise thousands of dollars at the event! I was equally honored to serve as a guest speaker to share about my passion and commitment to this mission.
small works | BIG IMPACT
Proceeds from every Small Work purchase are donated to Arts for Life. Each mini sculpture is uniquely designed, hand-shaped and individually crafted. A variety of colors and designs are available at my gallery locations throughout the year. Sizes are approximately 6" tall x 5" wide.
Arts for Life program volunteer:
Beyond supporting Arts for Life financially, I also serve as a weekly program volunteer at Levine Children's Hospital, working directly with pediatric patients and their families. Being able to connect with these kids through the power of art is always the highlight of my week.
