ShawnaLee Kwashnak will demonstrate a portrait during Hidden Acres Night of Caring that will be auctioned off in support of the event.

Hidden Acres Therapeutic Riding Academy hosts a Night of Caring every year to benefit their mission: to provide unique, life-changing therapeutic services to those in need, regardless of financial means.

ShawnaLee Kwashnak, a Portrait artist, has been invited back for a fourth year to provide a
horse drawing demonstration that will be auctioned off at the event. A horse from Hidden Acres will be her subject! An additional Gift Certificate will also be auctioned off for one lucky attendee to get their OWN Pet Portrait created by ShawnaLee!

The Seventh annual Night of Caring, to benefit Hidden Acres Therapeutic Riding Center, takes place Saturday, September 15th 2018 from 5-9pm at their barn located at 45 Gabriel Drive in Naugatuck CT. A wonderful evening filled with live and silent auctions, wine and beer tastings, games, Portrait demonstration by ShawnaLee, live music and great food all in support of a wonderful cause.
