The Lost Boys of Sudan

This is Malith Wiek

The MBA Art Show is honoring The Lost Boys of Sudan.

Malith Wiek was a custodian for MBA and was found murdered in Nashville.

He was one of the Lost Boys and as I understand it, was trying to raise money to send back to families to buy cows.  I have attached an article at the bottom of which you can read.

 I thought how appropriate to do a benefit to raise awareness of such an important cause.

I am honored to have been asked to participate!

What a wonderful show MBA had last night

There was a gentle breeze blowing and you could just feel fall trying to peek it's way around the corner.

I am the luckiest girl in the world.  I got to see so many of my old friends and heard so many wonderful comments on my art that I thought my head was just gonna bust! I was humbled beyond words!  It was just the most fabulous evening ever!!!!.

the best part????

My sweet Mr. W came to surprise me!

and

These two paintings are officially "off" the market. I am so excited to have sold them to one that I know and love, and another that I met and became quick friends! A special thanks to Connie for letting me shack for 3 days with her.  

 

Here's what I love about this show.

1)  It is benefiting a charity other than the school

2)  It is going on for a month and there is still a whole lotta art!

3) This is an incredible cause,,,,one that I have quickly become interested in and feel passionate about

25% of sales go to the Lost Boys of Sudan

Check it out! The show will go from 8 - 4 every day at The Davis Hall

Montgomery Bell Academy

Nashville, Tennessee
