My Story
Prior to Covid19 I would never have called myself an artist.. I was crafty, and creative, but not a painter by any means, and certainly not a watercolor artist! But, this amazing gift of time gave me the opportunity to find a new skill that I LOVE and that others seem to enjoy! So, I wanted to combine this gift and these unprecedented times by creating fundraisers that engage and support my local community! And so was born- watercolor fundraising! It started with a raffle of a tiger portrait since, quarantine also brought us “Tiger King” with Joe Exotic (whew.. trainwreck) $5 a ticket, and the proceeds would go to support a local business of the winners choosing.
My next raffle will be coming up this weekend. The twist now is the winner gets to choose the small business they’ll support PLUS they get to choose what I paint for them! Still $5 a ticket!
I do plan to spread this idea out and collaborate with other local artists and continue to share love, share support, and share art.
