Quixotic Giving

Art Love in the Mail.

Quixotic Giving is finished for 2023.

However, it was so much fun it will come around again in 2026.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted me with your address.

This project was such a pleasure to undertake that I will do something similar in the future—and now the future is soon. Please stay in touch.

 

What is Quixotic Giving?

Basically, I ship original fine art for FREE for a determined amount of time and a limited number of pieces. No one knows if they will receive mail, but it is impossible to be a receiver unless I know who you are.

Still...

One way or another we found one another and my art wants to touch your life.

Below are some examples of my 2023 Quixotic Giving art.

In 2023 I sent over 250 small works of art (some similar to the one above and the ones below) to people around the globe. 

In 2026 I will commit to sending 100 small works of art in the mail. 


You may elect to tell me who you know that could use some art love. I will make the work and ship the work for you, from you, made by me. Or easier yet, gift your art and request another!

I have decided this is my BIG GIVING project for 2026. As idealistic & impractical as this practice may seem to you, to me mailing art feels like an extravagant and loving long distance hug. We need these connections to one another. We need hope and beauty and joy.

Giving art feels like all three to me: hope, beauty and joy sent in the mail.

I appreciate all that you bring to this world. May we sew peace. May we share joy. May we encourage love to grow around the globe.
