Riga's Art making it to the Florence Biennale

Riga Forbes is organising this fundraiser.

Donation protected

Hello!

I am a landscape painter living and working in England. I respond to the landscape and its conditions as way of exploring human states of being and emotion in my work and my aim, as a painter, is to address the power and fragility of the both the human and natural world. For many years I have given a percentage of my income to charities who help people and the Earth and I am passionate about protecting the environment.

This year I have been invited to show my paintings at the Florence Biennale and would love to be able to be there as a representative of contemporary British art, but the exhibition fees are high. The cost of wall-space alone comes to 2,500 Euros, and then there are the shipping fees and customs costs. So I have created this fundraiser to make it easy for people, organisations and companies to support my goal and enable me to participate. Here is a link to my website gallery if you would like to see more of my work.

It would mean so much to me if you could contribute towards my trip. These are the gift packages I am offering to sponsors:
