In Loving Memory

Don Blaisdell

Don Blaisdell wanted his art to inspire imagination, keep giving back to the world, and promote art as a means of comfort and hope. His purpose was to leave something behind —his artistic footprints —that would keep spreading joy, light and creative possibilities, so he created a “Color Theory” in his paintings, which continue to be placed in museums, hospitals and individual homes to help people heal through color. The Legacy Foundation of The Estate of Don Blaisdell was founded in his spirit.
