This fundraiser is for plein air painter, Nancy Poucher & her husband Lenny. With their home just a few blocks off the bay, Helene’s 8’ surge ravaged their home this October. Milton made that terrible mess even more challenging to clean up.

Nancy & Lenny lost everything in their home, contents both functional & personal. Nancy has no studio left, no art supplies. She lost hundreds of paintings. In her case it was home & business lost. Their home was flooded with over 3’ of water, it is currently unlivable. This money will help take the edge off as they navigate this new way.

Nancy Poucher has been an artist in Gulfport’s Brenda McMahon Gallery for over three years. She is a dedicated member of our local arts community and the founder of Gulfport Plein Air Artists group. Nancy spearheaded this group where artists take their easels onto the streets of Gulfport and paint our beautiful town. We have all seen them and many of us know them well.

If you have been to Gulfport, if you have purchased Nancy‘s art then you know how much she loves our town. Nancy’s pastel birds in flight, boats on the water & renditions of local businesses are among some of the most favorite portrayals of Gulfport.

Nancy has given our community so much joy & love, it is now our opportunity to give back to her. Nancy & Lenny hope to stay & rebuild, but are unsure if they can.

Our hearts go out to ALL those in need. We thank you for any help you can provide. Together Gulfport is strong and we will help our friends and neighbors stay in our community and build back. Thank you!
