Dragonfire Gallery - invited all their artists to do a tribute painting in honor of founder -- MARI ROCKETT who passed last month.Each painting will be featured on the "Mari Wall" in the gallery this summer. The proceeds from the sale of these paintings will generate monies for a sculpture -- to be installed in Ecola Square in memory of Mari.
My small painting is what i believe Mari gave to everyone.... Mari shared her light -- her wisdom.... her joy.
The world was a brighter place with her presence.

What a beautiful tribute to any person - that they shared their light, wisdom and joy. Your painting is so fitting - open hands reaching out to give. I am sure she would have been so pleased to think her life had made an impact and difference to so many. Beautiful.
