My blog has moved to my website www.feliciafollum.com My artwork tends to focus on social issues. I combine drawing, watercolor, ink and graphic design to create socially conscious work that communicates with the audience. In addition to creating art my passion extends to a desire to use my work to help others. Two ways include teaching kids art and helping to raise awareness.

Education in Response to Haiti
Did you know that less than 1% of what the world spends on weapons in a year was needed to put every child in school for the same amount of time, but it did not happen?
The above poster uses this quote and a photo of school children in Haiti. The community I was in seemed to have a decent number of kids in school; however, most of the kids were still just running around. All of the children I gave art lessons to were not in school this was about 40 each day.
For each 11x17 poster sold ($25) I will donate enough to Thomazeau, Haiti to sponsor one child in school for a year. Please do let me know if you are interested. If you would like more information about sponsoring a child or teacher for a year, please let me know.
