Description

This series merges expression, activism, and healing. Each piece is built from vintage imagery (1920s–1970s), sourced from old magazines, and layered using analog collage and digital design. It’s a blend of old and new, soft and potent.

These works are my response to the current political climate. They transform what was into a voice that speaks to this moment — affirming marginalized stories and sharing beauty as resistance.

What began as preparation for this event reawakened a deep joy in creating and reminded me how much I love the process. The making itself is where the magic happens.

I’ve spent decades creating through photography, music, movement, designing inviting therapeutic spaces, and working as an Expressive Arts Therapist for the past 15 years. But until now, I hadn’t claimed the title “artist” for myself.

I don’t know what’s next. But this is where it starts.

Art piece descriptions:

Heart to Heart (Priority Piece)
A powerful call to compassion and action for our animal kin. This piece weaves vintage imagery with digital artistry to honor the sacred bond between humans and animals, reminding us that protecting our fellow creatures is a matter of the heart. Perfect for animal activists and anyone who believes every heartbeat matters.

Dancing on the Cloud
Inspired by a vintage image from the 1950s, this piece honors ancestors who dared to dream beyond limitations. Dancing in the clouds becomes a symbol of joy, resilience, and transcendence, as well as a love that defies gravity.


They Said Quiet, I Said Technicolor
A bold declaration of creative self-expression. This vibrant mixed-media piece celebrates the artist who refuses to dim their light, choosing instead to paint the world in full color. For anyone who's ever been told to tone it down, this one's for you.


Rattle, Rebel, Repeat
Activism starts young. Featuring a spirited baby with a rattle, this playful yet profound piece reminds us that the fight for human rights and justice is learned early and lived daily. A tribute to the next generation of changemakers. May they rattle, rebel, and repeat until the world is transformed.          




Additional Information

Our mission is to improve the lives of all domestic and out in the wild animals in our county!

Advocates of Contra Costa County is a group that urgently formed in 2024 in response to the rising numbers of animals placed on euthanasia lists in Contra Costa County and the policies that don't go far enough to provide resources for the shelters or rescues working hard to keep our furry friends free from harm. AACCC serves as a hub to help rescue groups and volunteers, do outreach in the community as well as advocacy work educating the community and elected officials of the important needs of our county animals. We’re optimistic that all these efforts are making a huge impact on the animals but it takes time, perseverance, and of course, funding. 

This auction and fundraiser will be raising funds to support spay and neuter efforts of two non-profits in the county who are dedicated to helping the community.

Stitch in Time Animal Rescue (STAR), a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing medical intervention to injured or sick animals and saving them from neglect, abuse, preventable suffering, and unjustified euthanasia. Since its founding in 2018, STAR has provided rigorous evaluation, medical care, fostering, and adoption, STAR does everything within its power to ensure that these animals receive the compassion and futures they deserve.

STAR has rescued and rehabilitated hundreds of animals, providing second chances and ongoing care for animals who would otherwise face a life of suffering and early death from injuries, illness or euthanasia at institutions that could not treat or house them.  Len Welsh and the devoted board members of STAR are passionate animal advocates and have spearheaded efforts to address overcrowded shelters, rescue at-risk medically compromised animals, and find them loving homes. 

Community Concern 4 Cats (CC4C) is an all-volunteer cat rescue making a difference in Contra Costa County, California. They are the life line for fostering, adopting, or and spay and neuter. They are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit cat rescue organization. In the past year alone, Community Concern for Cats helped over 1,300 cats and kittens find loving homes, provided spay/neuter services for 3,300 cats, and delivered medical care to thousands of cats and kittens.

The silent auction is online from November 11, 2025 starting at 11:00 a.m. and ending December 12, 2025 at 12:00 am.
