ART for SPINE

"River Meets Ocean"

We are a collective of artists, musicians, designers fundraising for spinal injury.

Through the generous support of the community and sponsors we aim to
improve the quality of life of people with
spinal injury through technology and innovation.

 ART for SPINE is an art austion that
originated in Brisbane, Queensland in May 2011. It was a huge success, raising much needed funds for the Spinal Injuries Unit in
Brisbane. The funds have provided

technology and equipment to the therapies
department. In 2012, we aim to make
the project bigger and better, helping more
spinal units across Australia.

I have donated two pieces to this years ART for SPINE auction. "River Meets Ocean" and "Cool Waters (process #2)" are both on their way to Brisbane for the October auction.

Check out the website for more information about the organisation, the auction and all the very talented artists that are involved.
