"Zachary Scholz, a Bay area artist, was randomly selected today as the recipient of my photograph from The Lake Project. But, of course, everyone who entered this raffle is considered a winner by me, for helping to raise several thousand dollars for Meg Patterson's health care in her treatment for cancer. Together we raised more than $2,000 for Meg from this raffle. And more than another $1,000 was deposited directly to her fund, which is still accepting contributions. Thank you to everyone who participated! Your words of encouragement and support have meant the world to Meg! THANK YOU"!

If you'd like to help with a DONATION to Meg directly, please visit this site: http://www.giveforward.org/megpatterson

"The ground is bleeding. A red river cuts a path through a bleached valley, winding toward a lake that is no longer there. Seen from the air, the river and its dry terminus appear otherworldly. In actuality, this terrain is located in Owens Valley, an arid stretch of land in southeastern California, between the Sierra Mountains and the White-Inyo Range."–Aperture, Volume 172 (read more)

This original, signed 15" x 15" photograph above, "The Lake Project 38", is being auctioned to raise funds for my friend, theater director Meg Patterson, who is struggling with cancer and lacks health insurance.

This work is part of the series, "The Lake Project," which has been published in a monograph by Nazraeli Press, and exhibited internationally. "Maisel took to the air over Owens Lake in 2001 and 2002 capturing hallucinatory scenes of color and texture that nearly conceal the fact that they are aerial views." – Nazraei Press
