CELEBRATED NEW YORK CITY ARTIST TO DONATE PORTION OF PROFITS TO HEALING ARTS FOR TSUNAMI SURVIVORS

Jaime Arredondo, painter of bold and passionate flowers, is releasing 12 limited edition Giclée prints dedicated to the tsunami disaster of this past December, as well as making available the rest of his amazing collection of artwork in this generous donation. Jaime is donating 20% of his sales to help fund ICAF's Healing Arts for Tsunami Survivors program; he has also agreed to pay the tax and shipping & handling costs! Each of the limited edition artworks will be hand-signed, titled and numbered by the artist.

The sale is taking place through Jaime's website (www.jaimearredondo.com) from April 1st through May 15th. When completing your purchase please be sure to include that you would like it to go towards the Tsunami Disaster Donation. In the SPECIAL CODE section located on the PayPal page, enter the code "TDD".

Jaime Arredondo is a Texas native, of Native American, Mexican and Tejano descent and has received a Master's of Fine Arts in Painting from Yale University. Mr. Arredondo's paintings express aspects of nature, love, remembrance and faith. His use of bold color and lighting in his larger-than-life sized renditions of these beautiful flowers give his paintings the illusion of being alive!

ICAF's Healing Arts for Tsunami Survivors is a program designed to help some of the 1.5 million children affected by the tsunami* who are in need of psychological help beyond humanitarian relief (estimate provided by UNICEF).

Let your love of the arts benefit these children who are in need of our help today!
