Welcome to my reflection on my #the100dayproject art auction!
What a crazy journey this has been! I can’t believe it’s been 100 days. This was an intense quarantine project that made winter survivable. I tried so many new styles and techniques, some of which will definitely become regular fixtures in my practice (and some that definitely won’t!), and raised over $900 for different charities. This was an amazing opportunity that I will hopefully NEVER HAVE AGAIN!!! I now look forward to spending up to two, maybe even three days on a single art piece :D
For those stumbling across this page, beginning January 31, 2021, I embarked in a project where I made a new piece of art every day for 100 days. At the end of every week I auctioned off my new artwork with 50% of the proceeds going to charities that helped people hardest hit by Covid. Now that it’s over I’ve been able to help 14 different charities and so many people have given my art it’s forever home. Win/win!
As you can see if you scroll down, some pieces didn’t sell and are still available for purchase but, unfortunately, for full price. You snooze, you lose!

The fine print: Minimum bid increases of $1. All prices are in Canadian dollars. Shipping is not included. I’ll contact the winners at the end of each auction and we’ll figure out the total costs based on what you won and where you are. I have to run the auction manually so, until I figure out a way of automating this, bear with me if a piece isn’t immediately updated with your bid.
Closing bid: $40
