Artists & Creatives need our help.

We need to figure out how to make life easier for creatives. I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to give this all up because the future felt hopeless, or how often I’ve found myself uncertain of how rent or other bills would be paid. You’d all be stunned if you knew the rollercoaster ride most of us creatives are on. The wild highs and lows. It’s nearly impossible to be financially successful as an artist. I’m saying this as someone who does okay. I’m happy to still be at it, but it shouldn’t be this hard. This year has been really challenging for the creative world as a whole. As an artist I can tell you from personal experience that many people don’t want to pay us. I’m one of the lucky ones. I have no idea how, but somehow I’m able to afford a life doing what I love. I’m so grateful to be a working artist (and my own boss). I’m so happy I get to do what I do every day, and to show my gratitude I feel I must pay it forward and help a few friends out there who are trying to make it. Over the four years I’ve been fundraising I’ve raised approximately $75,000, about $20,000 of which was just to put cash in the accounts of those who desperately needed it.

This year for the holidays I’m putting my focus on the Artist.

The Artist means the world to me. The Artist makes our lives beautiful. The Artist inspires us to see, hear, feel, smell, think, wonder, dream, and love. We must do everything we can to make sure The Artist makes it. Over the last couple of weeks I’ve seen far too many posts from fellow artists on Instagram who are having a hard time right now. Things happen - cars break down, roofs need repairing, rent, groceries, etc and the funds can’t keep up. I need your help to give them a needed financial boost as we head into the end of the year. Artists need to be able to live, too, and I want to make sure I help as much as I can. I have an amazing community behind me and feel so thankful to be in a position to do this. I’m going to leverage the only thing I have, the thing you all want the most, and that is my plaster art.

We’ve made giving to this fundraiser very easy. For every $25 you donate you will buy yourself a raffle entry for my

One of a Kind Wes Anderson Windflower no. 10

If you don’t have the $25 don’t worry - your donation still matters. Whatever you can give will get you a poster print.

To make sure every donor feels appreciated, I will be giving you a signed poster print of the Anemone Plaster Stamp I made earlier this fall.

We will be running the raffle all week.

The winner will be announced on Tuesday December 5th @ 7pm Eastern Time.

Thank you for all your support. It means the world to me.
