In 2016, Davnel participated in a Miami-based “Art of the Sail” auction with a laser painting on a piece of jib sail from The Impossible Dream catamaran. He was a guest on the catamaran and sailed around Manhattan prior to painting.
His painting sold at auction and Davnel was able to make purchases with the gift card he received.
Davnel continues to paint and his work has been widely celebrated in schools, on display, donated and sold since Laser Painting Program’s beginning.
