It is important to me that I use my art to do some good, even if it is in a small way. This notion was spurred with my Shelter Cat series, in which I drew portraits of the many cats who reside at the shelter where I volunteer. A portion of sales from this series goes directly back to the shelter to help these amazing animals. It was a gratifying and connecting experience, and I realized I’d like to take this further. So now, a portion of ALL of my art sales will go to organizations that help animals in some way. This includes the Wild Bird Fund, the Cornell Lab for Ornithology, and Long Beach Humane Society / Kitty Cove (where I volunteer! Please visit if you are local and are looking to adopt!). If you have a favorite organization that you think I should consider for donating, I would love to hear about it: please email suggestions to art@meghantaylor.com.
