An artist who specializes in shore paintings has done something different this time.

Artist Christina Eighmey is a Desert Shield/Desert Storm Gulf War Veteran whose father was on the US Army boxing team as an Olympic trial boxer in Germany.

In high school Christina left a historical mark in fast-pitch softball which inspired her interest in becoming a sports artist. But she also has a passion for the natural beauty of the shore and specializes in watercolor, oils, and acrylics of the shore.

Now, to coincide with the big-time Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Manny Pacquiao fight this weekend, Christina has created some very special paintings, including the one pictured here. She is hoping to sell them to raise money for earthquake victims in Nepal.

Christina says, "I have painted these painting because it is a passion and realization that I can really use my talents to help others. I believe we are all Blueprints...an example of who we are. With me promoting these paintings, I am hoping to reach out to cancer research as well as aid to Napal and other charities because of this historical Sports event."
