A “Heartfelt” Approach to Fighting AIDS

Jackson, MI, February 14, 2008 --(PR.com)-- A critically acclaimed leader in body painting and fine-art photography is joining the national effort against AIDS. Lennox Studios has created an image specifically designed to raise money for Aids research. Partnering with the AIDS Research Alliance in Hollywood, California, Lennox Studios is offering prints of “Human Heart” to the general public. The original print will be auctioned off this spring at the annual ArtSeen Auction in Beverly Hills.

“Our intent is to raise a minimum of one million dollars for AIDS research,” According to John Lennox, who developed the concept for Human Heart together with his wife. “We have recently signed a contract with the AIDS Research Alliance to work with us on this fundraiser.”

Under terms of the partnership, The AIDS Research Alliance will promote the project on their website; www.lennoxstudios.com/Human_Heart.html, offer a link to the website created by the Artists in order to sell the product; Promote the project via emails to their mailing list, as well as adding the project to a newsletter mailing.

“We are very excited about this project,” says Kimberly Lennox, the photographer and owner of Lennox Studios. “As an artist, I am not of much use behind a microscope, but with our camera and brushes we have found a way to make a difference.” That sentiment is echoed by Gary L. Minix, who assisted in the several hours of body painting required to create Human Heart “Each one of us involved in the project has been impacted by AIDS. I’m only 44 and I’ve gone to too many friend’s funerals.”
