Introducing Lit, athlete and artist Tobin Heath's tenth re—inc artwork.

As an artist and Chief Creative Officer, Tobin uses her creativity to inspire all that we create at re—inc. This piece is unique, however, in that it is both inspiration for you—our community— and inspired by you. To Tobin, this community is a burning light of passion, reimagination, and collective beauty. And these are the themes embedded in this work of art.

Created on the dining room table in her Venice Beach bungalow, Lit was a labor of love. Ever the pluralist, Tobin spent her mornings rehabilitating a knee injury. As the long autumn afternoons stretched into darkness, Tobin painted, fighting to depict the light. Using acrylic on canvas and her signature technique, Tobin created the illusion of illumination. The painting appears to glow from within. A visual expression of the strength that she harnesses every day through her healing process.

A portion of proceeds from the art auction will be donated to @transanta. @transanta is our impact partner and a mutual aid social media campaign connecting anonymous gift-givers with trans youth who are unhoused in foster care or otherwise without crucial support they need to thrive.
