Fresh from the Oven with Will Bryant: 2 or 3 or more

Contributer post by Will Bryant



2 or 3 or more was initiated by Mississippi State graphic design student Kate Thomas. The goal of the art sale is to help her sister, Libbie, to raise funding for a ministry position at the University of Virginia. This is a challenging position for a young student to basically raise their own salary before you ever start working.

Just last week there was a sale in Mississippi where over 20 artists, 500 donated pieces of art, a dozen volunteers, and 5 musicians donated their efforts to help support Libbie. The remaining pieces will be available through a limited online sale this FRIDAY! This is where you come in...you'll have a sweet opportunity to snag some really lovely art for a reasonable price and support a worthy cause.

We Own The Sky" by Brandon Riesgo


"Abide" and "Be Still" by Mamie McIntosh


"Color Blast From the Past" by yours truly.
