Sometimes life brings incredible surprises. I got a phone call several weeks ago from Janet Hopkins who is the editor of 'In Recovery' magazine asking if I could come to Phoenix, Arizona this November to receive an award. I wholeheartedly said, 'YES!' and will be heading down to the In Recovery Gala on November 19th to be given an 'Artist of the Year Award'. I am so honored to be acknowledged along with many other esteemed colleagues who support addiction/recovery in various ways. See the list of award winners here.
In case you are interested in learning more about the event or possibly attending, the gala information can be found here, http://www.inrecoverygala.com. My wish for the event is to build stronger connections and support for my film in progress, The Creative High, which highlights artists who have faced addiction.
Look for The Creative High Art Auction Fundraiser coming up on January 29th at a.Muse Gallery. More details to be announced soon. You can sign up on the film e-list here.
