Food is a human right.

I don’t have a lot to give, but I do know that art can make a difference.

To help support those who may be facing food insecurity come November, I’m offering my small works on paper at tiered pricing and donating 80-100% of the proceeds to the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York and/or local food pantries (either in Greene or Ulster County).

Quick numbers:

In the 18th congressional district, most SNAP recipients are children (41%), elderly (15%) or disabled (9%).

In the 19th congressional district, most SNAP recipients are children (32%), elderly (18%) or disabled (13%).

All pieces are 8.5” x 5.5” works on paper, signed and titled on the back.

Medium: acrylic, washi and/or specialty paper, faux gold leaf (except for Minis no. 6 & 9)

Here’s how it works

I’ll keep this open until November 7.

Sales are first come, first served. No holds.

Please message me with the name of the piece you would like to purchase. I’ll confirm its availability.
You can email yoko@yokoizu.com, DM me through Instagram or Facebook if we’re connected, or text if you have my number.
Send your payment.
I’ll confirm receipt and how you’d like to receive your artwork (pick-up/drop-off or shipped).

At the end, I will share how much was raised and where the donation went.

Payment

Accepted via PayPal (@yokoizu) or Venmo (@Yoko-Izu)

Getting your purchase

Local-ish to Catskill/Kingston/Woodstock: I’ll coordinate a pick-up or drop-off time with you.

Those further away: I’m happy to mail your piece(s) within the US. If you can add $5 or $10 to your purchase to help cover some shipping costs, it would be appreciated but is not expected.

Pricing

The standard price for these pieces is $150. However, I know that not everyone can give at the same level, nor do I want that to be a barrier for bringing brightness to your day through a new piece of art.

Please select the price point that feels most comfortable and is within your means. 80-100% of your purchase will go towards the local food bank and/or pantries.

Purchase price | Donation amount

$75 | $75 (100%)

$100 | $90 (90%)

$125 | $112.50 (90%)

$150 | $120 (80%)

The higher tiers simply allow me to recoup some basic material costs.

Thank you for your generosity and helping to raise funds for the community.
