gift — Blog — RANDI RUSSO

Quick update: I was trying my best to give a portion of sales to a new charity each month. Problem is, I blink, and six weeks have passed (at a minimum!); so every month is not realistic for me. Regardless, I’m all about giving all of the time… so that hasn’t changed. The only thing that has changed is that a new organization will be chosen every 6-8 weeks (as opposed to every 4). So here it is for the remainder of March and for April too:

20% of the net profits from sales of paintings over $1000 will be donated to a different NGO, with the latest being Women’s Refugee Commission (WRC), in honor of Women’s History Month. Please click on the link to read about the good work WRC does and the many countries they help.

*Please note: commissions, shipping costs, and taxes are excluded.

Make your private appointment now… either visit my studio in West Hollywood or we can meet over Facetime/Zoom.

Art is not always as pricey as you think…

I created a new page simply called Extra! — maybe I could have left out the exclamation point but maybe that’s my nerd homage to Jeopardy!/Alex Trebek (and not to that celebrity show that says the word twice in that sing-songy way).

I wanted to put up some smaller pieces that are reasonably priced, as well as easy to find a space on your walls. These make perfect gifts — so unique and lovely! And through the year 2020 (one month left!), 20% of your purchase goes to charity (read more about Get and Give 2020 here.) The list of the charities is there but I will post again below.

On the Extra! page, be sure to click on the thumbnails to see the full image. If you hover over them, you will see the info which includes pricing (on mobile devices, there’s a dot in the RH lower corner that you click to see info). These pieces are from $75-150.

Contact me if interested in purchasing one by going to my contact page and describing or sending a screenshot of the one(s) you like.

It’s been a success so far! In a few days, six sold! For an artist, that’s pretty damn good!

1. CDC Foundation Corona Virus Response Fund
