If you are around this Memorial Day please join us for another brilliant evening…we can even hang out in the studio after!

For those of you that have already purchased tickets I look forward to our evening together.

New York Vintners (Tribeca) presents:
May 25, 8pm at New York Vintners (21 Warren Street, Tribeca, NYC)
From the Trio that brought you…
“Apocalypse Sow”
“Jason & Ryans Excellent Vegan Adventure”
and “There will be Fish”
the fourth instalment of their alternative dining experience
‘Breaking Bread’
Join Chef Ryan Smith, Sommelier Dylan York and artist Jason Oliva as we celebrate our love of fine dinning, amazing wine pairings and thrilling television drama chock full of moral consequence.
“Some people see a show (Breaking Bad) about a struggling high school chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. Who turns to a life of crime, producing and selling methamphetamine with a former student, with the aim of securing his family’s financial future before he dies. I see the inspiration to cook five courses of amazing Tex-Mex fare and let Dylan sort out some brilliant wine pairings for a great seated plated dinner at New York Vintners…I guess I am different that way”

Hello Everyone
I am a supporter of the charity Hour Children and all the good work the founder, Sister Tesa, does. I am pleased to announce that I have helped to organise, alongside Julie Marder and the Board of Directors of Hour Children, an evening event at New York Vintners. There will be great wine and great food from Chef Ryan Smith and the room will be decorated with all of my latest artwork. I even re-imagined my Mother and Child painting to adorn the invitations. It will be a great night and all the proceeds will go to support Mother Tesa and her Hour Children charity.
Here is a link to Purchase Tickets
Thank you for your support and please feel free to share.
A Word From Sister Tesa
Hour Children was born and continues to grow because of people like you who “get” our mission. You understand the trauma to a child when their mother is incarcerated, and the pain and the guilt experienced by the mother.
In the midst of all this there’s hope – real hope that walks with mothers – from behind prison walls to the promise of a new life. Over the course of the past twenty-five years Hour Children has been there with a dedicated, compassionate staff who welcome women from prison or jail and wholeheartedly provide a home and vital support systems to build a life. Hour Children stands in testimony to your innate goodness hour relationship grows stronger as countless women have rebuilt their families and are now vital contributors to our society. As we grow into our future I offer deep gratitude to each of you for your generosity and commitment to Hour Children’s mission.
Your love has truly made a difference!
