Meeting Sam of Sam's Warriors Art and Autism at the Gilbert Farmers Market was extraordinary.
I went to the Farmer's Market in the Heritage District in downtown Gilbert AZ Saturday morning hoping to take a few pictures for a blog post. What I got was meeting a talented young artist who is donating most of the proceeds from selling his work to benefit the groups, AutismSpeaks and East Valley Autism Network. His mother told me Sam is doing this because of all he and his family have gotten from being a part of these organizations.
On Saturday at the Gilbert Farmers Market Sam had his cards for sale. He paints the pictures in oil or acrylic (he prefers acrylic because it drys faster) and places them on card stock. I choose flowers as the subject of my cards because I am partial to them but he paints colorful birds, lighthouses and so much more. For $2.00 each I purchased the cards with envelopes. I also enjoyed talking to this young artist and donated to a very worthy cause. (What a win-win that was!)
If you don't catch up with him at the Gilbert Farmers Market, here is his contact information.
