Hillary Berry Show

Hey Everyone -

I just wanted to let you know that I will be having my first ART SHOW on August 7th, First Thursday, from 6-9 pm at Capital M Lending in downtown Portland. Check out the "Art at the M" link at www.capitalmlending.com to see some of my paintings.

This event is being held to benefit my friend Hannah Wiley, whom I've known since 6th grade. She was diagnosed with leukemia a year ago and underwent a bone marrow transplant a few weeks ago. There will also be small poster prints available for those who would like to contribute, but aren't in the market to buy a piece of art :)
I look forward to seeing you there. Thanks!

Hilary
