It’s a beautiful thing to support the dreams of others!

Thank you so much for joining this community and making my work sustainable! One of the biggest issues facing emerging artists is that ability to balance funding your work and paying your bills. Thus far, I have NOT been able to balance the two, and have spent the majority of my time working to pay bills and neglecting my art.

But in 2022 I began receiving grant funding for my work which told me two things. 1. That even with grant money you still need to work so you can pay bills which keeps you from working on your art. and 2. That it’s time to shift my focus to the things that have always driven me. Creating the things that I find meaningful.

In this space you can follow my journey as I create new work, the highs and lows, and everything in between. I’ll share detailed information on how to work with natural dyes, grow certain plants, and just the “hows” of my practice. There will also be opportunities for you to purchase original works before anyone else. Your membership, either $5 or $25, will allow you access to everything. The only difference in price is that you may have a bit more or less to offer, but either way you want to support. The content will be the same for either payment. (If you’d like to make larger single donations you can always do that, too.) You’ll also have access to an exclusive members only store where you can buy original, one of a kind art pieces. Your subscription will go towards:

• Maintaining my studio space so I have a place to work (I’m unable to use the grant money I’ve received so far to pay for my studio, so that remains a large financial burden)

• Buying supplies

• Travel for residencies

• And more

No matter your financial capacity, I’m so grateful for your support and the opportunity to focus on becoming who I’m supposed to become.
