I wanted to do something. I think we all did. We started out with such hope for this new year, I don’t know anyone who wanted to even see 2009 in the rear view mirror. When the earthquake happened in Haiti, I needed to do something. One of our New Directions artists, Jeff Antebi, had a photograph in the show of Cite Soleil, a Haitian slum. He and I talked about a benefit using his photo, and from there, I saw the power of an image, and wanted to expand the idea.
I am so honored to represent such tremendous artists, all banded together to create Life Support. The gallery and our artists are donating all of the proceeds, so 100% of the purchase goes to the group Doctors Without Borders. I can’t think of a more worthy organization.

For those of you who have already shopped Life Support, thank you. For those of you who haven’t seen the work yet, take a look. Here are some of the images available.
