Sarah Janece Garcia featured in Art Materials Retailer
From Sarah:
I must share a recent occurrence that I am just so thrilled about. As many of you may know I exclusively use Qor Watercolors by Golden Paints. I use it always, proudly, everyday, and in every artistic way possible! A few years back my first original painting, created exclusively with QoR Watercolors, was actually purchased by the Golden family (of Golden Artists Colors, Inc) to be displayed in the Golden Collection in New York. As you can imagine this is a huge honor and a giant highlight of my art career. Well, recently Golden reached out to me again and asked me to be the featured artist in an article written about the QoR products. This is no doubt another highlight for my artwork and myself that I am just so thankful for. I am pleased to now share with you all that the article with my interview has now been published in "Art Materials Retailer” magazine.
Below is a link to the digi copy (The QoR feature, my interview, and artwork are on pg.18):

Results From the Bayou City Art Festival
From Sarah:
I must share that this wonderful art festival was one of the most joyous events Modesto and I have been able to be a part of. The love for the arts and the sheer energy of this festival was truly one of a kind. The tremendous spirit shown by the people in Houston, after being through so much is something I will never forget! I really can't think of a thank you large enough to encompass how grateful we are for the amount of art that is now in its new homes and for the experiences we got to have at this festival!

"Courage" A Fine Art Exhibition
Sarah Janece Garcia is honored and proud to present her work to the Choose Courage Foundation to be a part of the "Courage" fine art exhibition.
Sarah's watercolor and pastel painting titled, "Soar with Courage" will be available for viewing and purchase at the art exhibit on Thursday, October 5th in Fort Worth, TX. The proceeds from "COURAGE" will be shared with Safe Haven of Tarrant County.
From Sarah:
My painting titled, “Soar with Courage” was created for this great foundation and was inspired by the concept that the Choose Courage Foundation holds dear which is, "FROM THE HARD, BEAUTY CAN EMERGE. Survivors of domestic violence have a strength and beauty that inspires hope. They are proof of a life reclaimed and free of violence.” The original painting was donated to help in the wonderful efforts they have done and are doing to break the shame, stigma and silence of domestic violence by celebrating the strength and courage of survivors.

Arts For Animals
From Sarah: At a recent art festival we met a fantastic artist named Anne London and her husband Jim Hart, both of which are doing great things in the way of aiding animal conservation through the non profit they developed called “Arts for Animals”. Anne and I instantly connected over being two animal artists with a love for wildlife and a passion for animal conservation. We have since quickly developed a friendship and Modesto and I are proud to share that we have already begun working with her and her husband to aid in the conservation and charity efforts we all believe so strongly in. After a great trip to New Orleans plans to join forces began and now many exciting ventures for protecting and helping animals are ahead that I look forward to sharing with you all very soon!
Anne and Jim's charity organization is doing incredible work in the states and in Africa and I encourage all to visit the Arts For Animals site:
Endangered Species Collection
Sarah Janece Garcia's brand new collection is titled, “The Endangered Species Collection” and it is meant to capture the beautiful and majestic faces of endangered and threatened species from around the world. A percentage of the proceeds from the sale of any original in the "Endangered Species Collection" will go to a preselected charity to aid in the work being done to conserve the animal that is in the painting.
"I feel that these amazing animals rely on us as humans to use our voice, abilities, and power to speak up for them, protect them, and honor the importance of their existence on this Earth. In this collection I hope to express the deep connective thread between humans and animals while also combining art with conservation to celebrate these fascinating animals that inspire and amaze." -Sarah Janece Garcia
