Giving Back

Thais is part of a group of artist friends in service who share a passion for art and the bold credo that “true life is a life of service”.

Connected by these values they combine their efforts to give back. 

Every time you acquire art from the artists below, you share in empowering them and the organizations they support. 

THANK YOU FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE !


Thais is honored to join forces with a remarkable human-being, Alanna Powell, from Boldly Me, whose mission, according to her own words, is to help others who suffer from physical differences learn to cope, heal and transcend their differences.
