HeArt for Freedom 2018

I very much believe we should all do everything we can to end human bondage once and for all. Every person should be sovereign and free, not owned by another. Slavery comes in all types but in this case it is called human trafficking. Let's just end this. There is no excuse.
I, Suzanne Buckland, have donated this large oil painting to this cause. This is 36" X 48", entitled Rainbow Iris. One of my favorite pieces from my Irises Collection. I originally found this photo-shopped picture on Flickr and contacted the owner. He was delighted that I loved it so much I wanted to make this extra large painting. Of course he gave me permission to use it for a model. Irises are one of my favorite flowers. My Aunt Dorothy, who was such an inspiration to me grew irises and of course, my favorite artist Vincent painted many.
HeArt for Freedom is a one day art auction.
This fine art exhibit and auction is a one-day event where art connoisseurs and socially minded individuals can purchase world-class pieces and support an excellent cause. All purchases will benefit Free the Captives-an organization that combats the sex trafficking of minors in Houston. The event will feature live music, performance painters, art, photography, artisan craft, hors d'oeuvres, and more. New artworks are added daily at www.heARTforFreedom.com
Where: The Church at 1548 Heights Blvd Houston TX 77008
When: Saturday, September 29th, 2018
6:00 pm: VIP cocktail Hour and private viewing
6:30 pm: General Admission exhibition begins

There is a tremendous number of Houston's best artists donating to this worthy cause. Please join us in ending slavery.
