The 3rd Place hosts art show to benefit Japanese tsunami orphans

August 3, 2011


Lisa Erickson created 28 sume-e-style paintings to illustrate the Japanese poem "Strong in the Rain."

St. Anthony Park artist Lisa Erickson has created a 14-page booklet with 28 sume-e-style paintings to illustrate a famous Japanese poem that has been circulating around Japan after the March 11 tsunami and earthquake.

All profits from the sales of the booklet will go to Ashinaga, an organization that provides healing programs for children who have lost parents due to disaster. The group is currently focused on building a “Rainbow House” in the Tohoku region, where children can receive grief counseling.

A show of Erickson’s paintings will open Thursday, Aug. 18, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the 3rd Place, 2190 Como Ave. Micawber’s Books, 2238 Carter Ave., will be selling the booklet.

Each book is signed and numbered and sells for $10. You can find out more about it at Erickson’s website, www.apapersnowflake.com.
