Giving back

Giving back is central to Caya's practice. She supports Fort Worth nonprofits by live painting at their events and by donating her work to their auctions, and she has partnered with Camp Fire on live painting.

A Wish With Wings

A Wish With Wings has been making wishes come true since 1982, granting wishes for Texas children with life-threatening medical conditions. Caya's partnership with them raised nearly $5,000 toward those wishes.
