Damon is an up-and-coming Detroit artist. He's a graduate of, and active participant with the Mint Artists Guild, a Michigan nonprofit. They work to educate, employ and engage young artists on career, business and community building skills, so they may explore creative careers and develop entrepreneurial and generous mindsets.

Kay Willingham
Kay is a cornerstone of the Detroit community. For decades she's contributed to the arts scene. As owner of Art in Motion on Livernois, and former Pewabic artist, she's helped scores of people with stress relief via self-expression. We were proud to partner with Kay on our first Avenue of Fashion Art Walk with local 6th graders. They were able to create their own ceramic tiles, which was a fantastic treat for them. We look forward to many more. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Kay. You are truly a gem.
Mandisa Smith
Mandisa is co-owner of Detroit Fiber Works on Livernois Avenue. She graciously volunteered her skills to give local 6th graders a felting demonstration on our recent Avenue of Fashion Art Walk. Big kudos to her and we look forward to partnering together again in the near future.
Genevieve and Chris
Chris is an accomplished DJ and Genevieve is studying to be an art teacher. This beautiful Christmas card was a hand-drawn masterpiece they gave to Roy and Angela. They are a lovely couple with a gorgeous toddler, Jasper. They have incredible talent and we're sure they'll accomplish great things. We're proud to have them as part of the Art for Hearts cause.
Brian Outten
Brian is an old friend of Roy's from his childhood in London. Brian did this truly moving work to auction off in order to benefit the Native Americans protesting at Standing Rock. We greatly appreciate Brian's support for Art for Hearts and know his involvement will add great international exposure for Art for Hearts.
Jane Brayne
Jane was an early believer in the power of Art for Hearts. She donated the design for the Art for Hearts logos all the way back in 2008. She does excellent, historically significant work. Please check out her work on the following links.
