“We are so excited to pARTner with Water Street Studios on this project. When the opportunity arose it was a no brainer. It brings such a unique opportunity to spread awareness of not only Food for Health & Water Street, but the other organizations involved. I truly believe that this project will be a beautiful representation of how Fox Valley nonprofits are committed to collaborating together, and highlighting each other’s strengths, for the betterment of our community.”

Kit Sunderland, a Chicago-based artist dedicated to expressing the duality of life through her work, was selected by Fox Valley Food for Health for her colorful, realistic yet whimsical style that ties perfectly with Food for Health’s dual mission.  For more information on Kit Sunderland and her work visit www.kitsunderland.com.
