The night’s decor is inspired by a spectacular painting titled ‘Hibiscus’ that will be showcased during the event. Created by an Inspired Artist at PARC named Michelle, the painting highlights beautiful florals using warm, inviting colors. Michelle’s artistic expressions are inspired by learning and exploring new techniques and colors. She appreciates the beauty of landscapes and florals, and by the colors of the world around her. Her painting will be available for purchase during our live auction, which will also include items ranging from a VIP night in a Rolls Royce, to a getaway across the U.S.
