I've done several stories on the uber successful Minx, Inc. I'm happy to report they have teamed up with Carlo Valtran, a successful Haitian painter to release the Haitian Relief Minx line which is available now to nailcare professionals through July 2010 on the Minx website. The Port-au-Prince native is renown for his paintings depicting Haiti's hardships through social commentary scenes. He beautifully portrays Haiti's natural habitat, showcasing wildlife, foliage and birds in bright and vibrant colors. The line of three designs are an original piece by Valtran, “Small Birds in Foliage.”
$4.00 from each Minx set purchased will be donated to Food for the Poor and $1.00 will be donated to Valtran.
Valtran, a widower was affected by the quake as his children attend a school that was destroyed and chances are they will be unable to attend school for the remainder of the schoolyear. He continues to live in Port-Au-Prince where he supports his seven children along with his ailing parents and in-laws.
