C.Proppé Paintings 🖼️ available in 2024 with 25% going back to Kid's Bike Non-profit

 Hello Bay Area families, friends and Trips for Kids supporters!

I am a Marin parent and former volunteer with Trips for Kids. I spent many days on the trails helping kids learn to climb up hills they never imagined they could climb. It was a privilege and a joy, and I was grateful for TFK founder, Marilyn Price’s passion and vision to teach underprivileged kids how to mountain bike. I saw her huge smile and absolute joy riding with kids first hand. I donated my paintings and prints to TFK fundraisers each year when Marilyn was running the nonprofit. I’ve purchased amazing recycled bike clothing and gear at “The Recyclery” and even joined fundraising climate rides with TFK National staff riders. Trips for Kids is an amazing, women founded business that has grown exponentially since my kids were small. 

6 of my paintings are currently on display in the executive offices at TFK San Rafael and currently for sale with 25% going back to “kids and bikes“ 🚲 at Trips for Kids. Please share with your cycling, art and nature loving friends! Bike well and happy trails to all.

“Green C” - Debut Album 💿 (Earth-Friendly Music)

I have been working on my songwriting for over 7 years! I recently realized that many of my songs have the word “green” in them… There are quite a few about bikes, farms, barns and horses too. As a life-long, environmental activist and environmental artist, organic gardener, mom… It is no surprise I write about what I love and what makes me feel good. 

Although many of my songs are not necessarily about the environment and nature, I have enough "green" songs now to make an album. “Green C” is a good title and artist name. I have always been “C” as in C.Proppé.com, but C is also like sea 🌊, the green seas of Maui… the Florida Keys, etc… My love of oceans, nature, cycling, farming, California, Tennessee and Maui all come together in these songs.

My wackier songs can go on a different album. I have a lot of those too! Grateful for HenHouseStudios Los Angeles and Harlan Steinberger for agreeing to help me succeed! 💚 Music saves lives. Music can help save the environment too.
