Hecho a Mano

On Saturday, April 16, 2011, the Grand Ball room of the Hotel Zoso in Palm Springs will host the "99 Buck Show", a huge display of small canvases each priced at $99. Funds raised at the 99 Bucks event directly benefit the children, residents and visitors in the Coachella Valley through programs organized and delivered by the Palm Springs Art Museum's Education Department. 99 Bucks offers quality artwork at an affordable price, created by "famous and the infamous" donors. The piece above, "Hecho a Mano" is my contribution.
