Kim Rose - Artist and Philanthropist.
This week on the podcast we sit down with Kim Rose - Artist and Philanthropist based in Los Angeles, CA. We talk about how 10% of each of her sales are donated to help bring funds and awareness to kids in Tijuana, Mexico - known as "Mission Marisol". When Kim started selling art around the globe, she realized that her art could potentially have a huge impact.
"I wanted to use fine art as a way to give voice to a movement much bigger than myself, and I knew that it I could have an even larger impact when joined together with other artists. That is when I came up with the idea of using fine art as a way of raising funds and awareness for kids in Mexico."
