Channing was known to visit the men who danced or sang in her productions when they were in the hospital or bed ridden at home. Though bigger than life, she was dedicated to her fans, it’s said that she only missed one Performance of Hello Dolly, in which she was forced to fly from Cincinnati to NYC for a hospital visit, but she demanded to go back the next morning as she understood that people saved their money to go see her.

‼️ATTENTION ART COLLECTORS AND MUSEUMS‼️

What you see in this picture is the Mauricio Anton Study-done only in Lyra graduate colored pencils, a piece that was created in only one night, believe it or not. Crazy, right? Anyways, it is now available for auction. My DM’s are open, highest bidder takes it home.

I also have two sketchbooks and an acrylic piece available, just look deeper into my page for them. Cheers.

Tomorrow is the last day to catch the @aliforneycenter benefit show curated by @stephentruax at @davidzwirner 10-6pm. Honored to have been included ❤️

The Ali Forney Center was founded in 2002 in memory of Ali Forney, a gender-nonconforming youth who experienced homelessness from a young age and was tragically murdered at the age of 22. Known for their resilience, advocacy, and compassion, Forney worked to educate others about HIV prevention and to call attention to the struggles of unhoused queer youth. Their legacy inspired the creation of a safe haven for LGBTQ+ young people in New York City, offering dignity, safety, and support in the face of systemic neglect.

Installation view, Everyone you’re looking at is also you: Artists for the Ali Forney Center (September 28 - October 10, 2026), David Zwirner, New York.
