Keep the Lights On

Ancora is highly active in our home community, and we support lots of local initiatives and projects.

One program that’s really amazed us is Porchlight, a non-profit organization that works with the local homeless community and invests much of its efforts in creating long-term solutions.

We’re so impressed with Porchlight that we’ve created a special blend to help financially support their programs.

Title of show “Traveling through wonderland”. In my works I seek to find unifying themes in diversity of colors in the same way as I strive to find unifying principles in the diversity of life. You can do many good different things and still be the same person. Similarly, a variety of colors can make a good painting. I believe it is essential to come up with new ideas each time, I think it helps me grow. I hope you like my FOLK ART and ABSTRACT works. I paint because I love to paint.I like it soooo much! There are two things that I love most in the world - children and animals. They are very frank and open-minded, and that's what I love most in them. And animals can't talk so the only way they express themselves is through emotions! I am very emotional person myself and I like to be able to understand emotions of animals from the expression of their faces (and tails :)).
