November 2019 – Kagan Masters

This month is so busy. You can tell people are gearing up for the holidays it seems every other day there is an event, show, holiday market I can’t keep up with everything when there are so many!! Im forgetting things left and right and need to learn to actually put things on my phone!

So heres an exciting thing! Some of my work is featured in this thank you video from Peorias RonaldMcdonald House charity event where $200,000 was raised to help complete construction and pay artists!
my work is at :24 and 1:03

However despite all the busy, I did make it to the Art Gala (please read that in a fancy voice!) An event ment to raise money to fund the Ronald McDonald House and to purchase local art to decorate the rooms and common areas of the building.

Im honored I was able to participate since I have had friends who have needed their services and being able to provide art for folks who may be in a crisis time of life to make their stay a little more uplifting. Tonights event was at the Scottish Rite Cathedral next to the RMH.

Of the pieces I submitted 3 were accepted for the charity auction

Penelopy the Purple Flying Elephant is a magical elephant who is a character in a story I’ve been working for so long she is older than some collage grads…

Unihare is part of a series where I put a unicorn horn on all sorts of things.

This caffeinated painting titled “Fishing” was originally painted with coffee and this wide eyed awake fish is hooked!

It was an interesting night as I have never been to an event quite like this. The more I talked to some of the other artists there neither had they so it was a new experience for most of us.
