George has donated two pieces of artwork, to our cause to raise funds, and here is his description:

The bodysuit was a concept I saw almost fifty years ago.

Faces: I gain inspiration from other artists and events that I use as a theme. This one involves human nature and the conflicts we experience, such as the anguish we endure after receiving a lengthy denial from the parole board. My father was an artist who worked with oil, and although Iโ€™ve worked using all mediums, I prefer pastels.

Both of Georgeโ€™s paintings will be for sale, look for our auction and please stop by our office to see them in person!

These stories arrive by mail.

Every month, a physical envelope arrives at your door, postmarked from San Quentin Village, California. Inside, you will find original artwork, writing, and recipes from real contributors, along with a personal letter from me, Diane Kahn, founder of Humans of San Quentin, about the people who made them. You read it. You keep it.

Every piece comes from someone serving a sentence. Every piece reminds you they are so much more than that.
