Day 63, 3/4/2011

The Downtown Association of Fairbanks hosts something called “First Friday” where local artists showcase their work at venues provided by participating community businesses on first Friday of every month.

Today I stopped by the Artisan’s Courtyard to view the exquisite charcoal drawings of Laura Sample. Laura is an archaeologist by trade but happens to have this amazing gift, you know, on the side.

Recognize these two knuckleheads? 

This is a drawing I commissioned Laura to do of our two dogs, Cicely and Penny, who appear throughout my blog.

Laura spent time in Africa, and co-founded The Kenyan Young Women’s Education Program while she was there. These drawings of African wildlife are being sold tonight to benefit her charity.
