I have been having a rough and scary time recently. My mom has always been my best friend, my supporter and my anchor. And recently I have been untethered to my anchor. She’s been hospitalized for a couple of weeks. Several times I thought she’d never come home again.
It’s because of my mom havekat exists. She allows me to paint full time. Something she won’t be able to help with for awhile.
In the midst of my mom’s health crisis my dog Sadie (diminutive of Cressida) also had a meat death medical crisis. Through Etsy Sales and donations I have been able to pay $850 of the now $2200 vet bill. I’ve also been able to buy food.
Sales however have dropped off. Please buy a painting if you can. All of my work is for sale. Only about ¼ of my paintings seen on havekat are listed on Etsy so if you have a favorite please message me. I can also make significant discounts to accommodate smaller budgets.
My dog Sadie made it though surgery despite veterinary nah saying. She’s home recovering. I was able to pay around half of the bill. $1100 still remains and another $400 will be spent in monitoring her liver and kidneys. My mom is still unable to come home and may need in an assisted facility for several months. That means that I will have to take over as primary bread winner for awhile.
I thank everyone who has donated money and purchased art with every fiber of my being. I also implore anyone who can please buy my art. I can be contacted about commissions. I’m always happy to be trusted to make a dream, reality. Please considering buying art for birthdays, graduations, weddings, baby gifts, father’s day or to treat yourself. I know my crisis is annoying. There isn’t an amount certain I need. I just need sales to come in steadily. It’s not sexy in that at some date certain it will be over. These are the kind of things that end artists careers. And I don’t want to leave art. I hope that all of you continue to be committed to helping me continue to make art everyday.
I love you all and wouldn’t have made it this far without you.
