sept 14
On Tuesday, September 29th, NYC Audubon is hosting their Fall Roost gala and auction at the Central Park Boathouse (home of great martinis on the veranda and terrible burgers on the back patio), and yours truly has humbly created a drawing just for this event. This has been fulfilling (in ways other than financial) for me, and as such I do not mind putting a huge plug on this decidedly non-commercial blog for the drawing and the event. Proceeds from the gala and auction go to much needed conservation and educational programs here in New York City.
The drawing is pencil on paper, 22 x 18.5″ and is signed and dated on the back. It will be framed by the auction date. *UPDATE* auction over, drawing sold.

That’s a beautiful drawing, Catherine.
I stand in awe of your gift. There seems so much heart in these creations. Is it hard for you to let them go for money?
Dear Catherine,
This is an amazing work. I wanted to purchase it, but could not find the buy it now option when I saw the Audubon site. Would you please contact me?
Thanks,
Kate Schaad Spencer
Thank you John and Diane.
Diane: I get zero remuneration for this one, but am not so sure it is easier that way! It is always a little weird selling work that is so close to me, but perhaps even weirder to make things that never go beyond the studio.
Kate: thank you for your interest in the piece! I will email you directly with an Audubon contact person.
Catherine,
I am most impressed that you drew this piece with pencil on rag paper. The way you create such stunning pieces with a pencil is beyond punk rock.
