Barbara Trentalange is a multi talented artist. On October 24, she traveled the country performing original songs of which she teamed up with fine artists from around the US including painters, photographers, mixed media artists and illustrators. Barbara recruited these highly talented artists to create art inspired by one of the twelve songs she would perform during her tour.

Each of the artists donated their artwork to be showcased as a backdrop while Barbara performed the song. In addition, each of the original pieces was auctioned off at the end of the tour, on November 24. Half of the proceeds of each auctioned painting went directly to Powerful Voices; a Seattle based non-profit organization dedicated to helping young girls discover their own unique power and potential.

You can see all the prints available and read more about the tour and auction here, at Barbara’s Imagekind Gallery.
