LOCAL ARTIST JEAN STEINHARDT PARTICIPATES IN SILENT AUCTION TO BENEFIT FOSTER CARE
How You Can Help, Too

Houston?s foster kids need all the help they can get. Here?s how you can help:

  • Buy a ticket to the Trinity Houston Foster Care gala being held at The Red Door on April 28
  • At the gala, bid on a house portrait

That?s all there is to it. If yours is the winning bid, Jean Steinhardt will draw a portrait of your house. All proceeds will go toward helping Houston?s foster care kids.

Jean has volunteered to produce one of his acclaimed custom house portraits for the person who makes the highest bid for the service.

The purpose of a house portrait is to evoke warm memories associated with the house. Using your photographs as a starting point, Jean can add or remove trees, shrubs and flowers to match your memories of the house at a particular point in time. So, for example, if the tree you climbed in as a child isn?t in the photo, you can request that it be included in the drawing.

Jean?s detailed pen and ink renditions typically require more than 40 hours of effort. That?s a lot of time, but the results are impressive.

View examples of Jean?s work at www.jeansteinhardt.com. Better yet, attend the Trinity gala at the Red Door and see a full size house portrait on display. Make the winning bid, and you can make yourself ? and some foster kids ? happy at the same time.
