I want to create art that makes an impact. Here is one way to help me do that.

A little back story and info…

I started my business right at the start of the pandemic, May of 2020. And while my business has steadily grown each month, by January of 2021, I felt a need to give bigger. In college I had a professor tell me that being an artist can be the most selfish occupation. You create work, usually alone in your studio, work about your point of view, you defend your work and then hand it over to others to sell or show on its own while you go back to the studio, alone. It struck me as sad and also solidified in my mind the kind of artist I did NOT want to be.

Art is meant to have an impact—visually, emotionally, spiritually. And even art that doesn’t serve a function such as a beautifully crafted mug or piece of furniture, can still DO a lot of things. I want my art to encourage and bring joy. And here specifically, I would like my art to be a gift to those who could maybe use some uplifting.

Here’s where I need your help. Think about someone in your life who has had a rough year. Maybe they have been battling illness, have lost a loved one, had a house fire and lost all their possessions or are struggling mentally and could use knowing that someone is thinking about them. There is no “minimum requirement” to meet. Just your gut and spirit bringing a name to mind. If you know someone like that and think that they would really appreciate an art print to freely receive as a random gift, please fill out the form to complete the nomination. I will be sending these gifts out as nominations come in.
