Via Colori 2008
Mikie was interviewed by Jennifer Leahy of the Houston Chronicle at Via Colori on November 22, 2008 in Houston, Texas. This is annual even to raise money for the Center for Speech and Hearing. It was a beautiful day.

Via Colori
Well it was a very rainy weekend in Houston, so the Houston Via Colori event to raise money for the Center for Speech and Hearing didn’t get to do as well as it otherwise might have done.
Mikie did a 10 x 10 foot square and it came out just beautiful. Click on the picture below to see a Flickr slide-show of a few images from this event.

Heights Art Auction to benefit Shriners Hospital for Children

Heights Art Auction to benefit Shriners Hospital for Children
Houston artists create 40 works of art out of 40 cigar boxes
As the holidays approach, people tend to think more about those who need assistance — particularly children. This year, artists from all over the Houston area have come together to help children in need by creating works of art from a nontraditional medium — wooden cigar boxes — to be sold at a special benefit auction on Saturday, Nov. 18, from 7-10 p.m.
Held in conjunction with Hight Cigar Company’s first anniversary celebration, the proceeds of the auction will go to the Shriners Hospital for Children. The auction will be held at M2 Gallery, located at 325 W. 19th Street in Houston’s Historic Heights.
Forty artists were each given a wooden cigar box to create a work of art from, be it abstract, portrait, landscape, mixed media, collage, 3-D, or any other medium the artists chose to utilize. Each box is one of a kind and displays the style and imagination of the artist. The boxes will contain hand rolled Perfecto cigars by Hight Cigar Company and fitted with label bands matching the artwork on the boxes. The Perfectos are especially made for the auction and only 2000 of these perfect figuardos will be made.
Among the participating artists are: Aimi Dunn, John Mercado, Michael-Ann Belin, Martin de Vore, Mehak Bagai, Sorange Castillo, Susan Goettsche, Mitch Cohen, Carolyn Cohen, Max Boyd Harrison, Solomon Kane, Big Al Bartell, Laura Hodges, Alissa Fereday, Michelle Macy, Sam Van Bibber, Amie Krebbs, Christine M. Farnsworth, Cindy Folsom, Jeanne Haner, Alex Hostetler, Chip Hight, Nathan Parmar, Shawnacy McArthur, William Newton Rice, Erik Kolflat, Amy Lynch, Scott Mernelstern, Beth Harris, Fletcher Stafford, Noelle Trowbridge, Joyce Dorn, Jennifer Beam-Kresovsky, Mark Stephen Kresovsky. Silas Woodward and Kelly Ryan.
Those attending the auction must be at least 18 years of age.
