Tiger Lily is Acrylic on Cloth. This vivacious, fiery orange piece mirrors the pedals of the Tiger Lily flower. Because of the vibrant colors of the flower, it symbolizes positivity and confidence. When we focus on our strengths together, we accomplish something much greater as a team. For this exercise, the individuals were broken into groups. One group painted, another group cut strips and the last group arranged. In this team-building exercise we realized each group had different tasks. Each group was essential to complete the final piece. 29 inch X 31 inch with frame. CLICK HERE TO BID.

Swarm of Jellyfish is Acrylic on Canvas. Unified in a swarm, our individuals embark in a program beyond the walls of confinement. Barriers have been constructed over the years to keep individuals “safe” but in fact those same walls prevent development and growth. A light at the end of a long and dark tunnel has opened wide and has given many individuals the opportunity to escape a period of hardship and embrace a new world. We move together like jellyfish into the community, the community is the swarm. Could you tell which Jelly Fish doesn’t belong to the swarm? It’s a trick question, they all belong. Individuals with developmental disabilities often face adversity in our communities when in reality they belong, just as much as anyone else. This 24 inch X 48 Inch piece was a group art project created by members of Koinonia’s Community Pilot Program. The program was created so individuals with developmental disabilities can experience life in the community beyond the walls of an adult day center; the path to inclusion. CLICK HERE TO BID.
