Happy Veterans Day

Happy Veterans Day to all veterans who served our country. Makers Paradise is participating in a community art project with The David J. Drakulich Foundation in Reno, NV.

Here is an art piece Lawrence Silva painted with Joseph Alef and Colin Hurley at Makers Paradise called Trauma Field to show our respect of our disabled veterans who served our country and suffer from PTSD.

Makers Paradise is also creating art pieces out of combat paper for a collaborative art piece with College of Alameda students, Trends, LLC, San Francisco Campus for Jewish Life staff and senior residents, Elder Care Alliance, Achieve Program for high school students in San Francisco and disabled veterans from the Bay Area and Reno.

The second photo is Joseph Alef and Lawrence Silva with Joseph's art piece Ribbons in the Stream. Joseph is an artist with Creative Growth and an talented abstract artist. Joseph's paintings have been displayed at the Chase Center in San Francisco and also Miami. Joseph was inspired to create this piece as a way to show hope to those suffering from PTSD.
