Mission Statement: A Journey of Artistry, Resilience, and Dreams
As artists, creators, and parents, our journey has been a tapestry of creativity, love, and unyielding determination. We embarked on this path, driven by a passion for our craft, a vision for our future, and an unwavering commitment to our daughter's dreams.
The challenges of the past few years have tested our resolve in ways we never imagined. The COVID-19 pandemic forced us to close our beloved specialty event rental and theme prop business for a grueling 18 months. The financial strain, compounded by EIDL loans and the depletion of our savings, seemed insurmountable.
Yet, in the face of adversity, we stand unwavering. Our hearts are resolute, for there's a dream that must be realized - our daughter Bridget's college education. We may not have had the opportunity to attend college ourselves, but we are determined to ensure that she can.
Every piece in our collection, every brushstroke, and every creative endeavor on this site has a purpose beyond aesthetics. It is a brush dipped in hope, a canvas painted with determination. The sales from this platform are not merely transactions; they are investments in Bridget's future. They are the foundation upon which her dreams will take flight.
Our commitment is to you, our patrons, and to Bridget, our guiding star. We pledge to pour our hearts and souls into our art, to create, inspire, and touch lives. We will transform the adversity we've faced into the strength that propels our family forward.
In every piece you choose to bring into your world, you are not just acquiring art; you are contributing to a legacy of dreams fulfilled. Together, we will sculpt the path to Bridget's college education, enabling her to grasp the opportunities we've yearned for.
Our mission is clear: to craft a brighter future for Bridget through the power of our art. With your support, we will emerge from the shadows of financial hardship, as artists, as parents, and as the guardians of a dream. Together, we will pave the way for her to soar to academic heights, carrying with her the lessons of resilience and the strength of a united family.
Thank you for joining us on this extraordinary journey, where art, love, and hope converge to make dreams come true
- OK, this is all a bit corny, but its true. We are trying to raise money to pay for our daughter's college tuition, books, and room and board. We had a savings for her, but it went to cover bills during covid. She is 19 now, and in her second year at a junior college just down the road. Next fall she is transferring to UNR or possibly Davis, or San Francisco State. This is basically based on the amount of money that we can raise on this site. It's kind of a "Hail Mary" pass, hoping to get it covered by trying really hard to make extra money in a hurry.
This is a family affair here: Richard and I are the main art contributors to this site. We also have a few digital pieces coming from our sons girlfriend, Xiana, and a few from outside "guest" artists, as well as some from Bridget, herself. Noah helps with the marketing
Help us to achieve out daughters dream. All of the profits from sales on this site go to pay for Bridget's college and future. After we are done paying for that we will work on paying off Xianas college debts and then send Noah back school, so that he can achieve his dreams too.
-Richard, Liz, Xiana, Noah, Bridget
