Supporting the Arts….

My auction item (family portrait session) was sold for CI$1,500.00 !!

To maximize money to National Gallery…. I agreed to do three sessions, to bring bid total to CI$4,500.00

I’m so proud that local residents with such great taste and esteem place a high value on my photography.

Every year, this event is highly anticipated. The garden tour is spectacular and Ariane Dart is a most gracious host and supporter of the National Gallery.

Only a few photos have captions…. but the elegance of the afternoon is evident in the photos and really need no description.

Nisha is not just gorgeous, but one of the funniest and best auctioneers I’ve witnessed. And a good friend of mine too…

All the guests arrived, welcomed by Ariane and Natalie, and then took the tour of the garden.

The gardens could have kept my attention all day… but there were funds to be raised and fun to be had. these are just a few quick snips before heading in for some champers.

Catering by Icoa was exceptional and they had all the lovely details sorted.

ahhhhh… afternoon tea.
