Donated to the 7th annual Art of July benefit (2000), each of these pieces went home with a patron (2 with the same person!). Art of July is organized by Randace Rauscher-Moore. Held each year in July, its 10th July 2003 marks its 10th annniversary.   It is a silent auction of art, pottery, photography, and gifts donated by artists and merchants in the Boston area, and benefits one non-profit organization every year.  For the year 2000, Art of July brought in $10,000 for Casa Myrna Vasquez, a local battered women's shelter.  In 2002 Art of July benefited Casting for Recovery, an organization to help women with breast cancer. Over $30,000 in proceeds were brough in for CFR. For more information about Art of July, contact Randace Rauscher at me@randace.com

"The kids and mothers were a delight to photograph! I marveled at their boundless energy and enthusiasm; they became assistants and choreographers moments after the shoot began. These photographs intend to express the contagious wonder children pass onto us in times spent with them."  - Jen Bauer
