Welcome to the Gallery of Friends, a cyberspace art gallery devoted to raising funds for the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization Dream One World, Inc., established in January of 2005.   www.dreamoneworld.org  (Logo design by Claudio Silva)

My name is Kathy Ozzard Chism, Founder and Director of the above organization.  I am proud to bring you the work of twenty-two incredible artists, all of whom happen to be my friends.  (Please click on the photos to go directly to the artist pages.)  Here you will find a wide variety of:

A few of these artists are world renowned, with an international clientele.  Some are full time artists who have honed their craft over a lifetime and are well known in various pockets of the U.S.  Some are admirably managing to work full time while still creating a valuable reputation as professional artists.  Some are retired, some are art students, and some are just starting out, like the young person still in grade school whom I have included.

It has been a dream of mine for many, many years to have an art gallery showcasing all this talent - yet life to date has not afforded me the time to build such a gallery...until I realized I could build it on the  Web!

The wonderful thing about the timing now is that the gallery brings these artists together to  assist many people who need help desperately.   The purchase of any piece on this site becomes more than just a gift you give yourself.  It becomes a gift to others as well, as 20% of your purchase will be donated to the nonprofit organization Dream One World, Inc.

It truly is a win-win for everyone.  I am so happy to be able to help support my artistic friends as they continue their work, bring joy to clients who fall in love with their art, and be a part of helping so many people and places around the world in their healing, be it from illness or disaster of any kind.

The artists are listed alpabetically at left, and range in age from 8 to 78.   I have included a little story at the top of each page about my friendship with each one.   Most of the artists will also do some commission work, (for example, if you see a piece is sold, you might be able to get another one if you ask!), and some have prints of their originals available at reduced prices and other sizes as well. 

To learn more about how your purchase of art here helps to become a donation through these generous artists to Dream One World, Inc.,  please click on the "How This Works" page at left. 

I know you will have no trouble finding something on this website to love and be proud to own.  There truly is something here for every taste and every budget. 

Take some time and scroll down through each page of this visual feast.    I promise you it will be worth it!

Happy viewing...and thank you for your interest.

With gratitude,  Kathy
