Hiya! I am so very grateful for your support. I need your help funding new art supplies--including a scanner so I can better capture and present my watercolor paintings. Donations over and above these needs will be allocated for new electronic equipment, including a new camera, to help me with my photography. During the pandemic, I made a long list of what I wanted to learn. This list generated a lot of productivity, but the tasks also brought reminders that I'd forgotten someone important. Me. As the months in quarantine passed, I realized the recent storms of my life had quashed my childhood sense of wonder and enthusiasm for mysteries and the unknown. I’ve completely forgotten why I love telling stories and either engineering or writing in other creators' sandboxes. I'm happy to say I've been working on finding inspiration and reviving my authorial voice, but some things can't be restored on a computer. I realized that new experiences--taking action on my dreams--are vital for me, my work, and my personal growth. I'd like to continue my goal mastering watercolor paintings and sketching exercises. Will be posting about this journey here on Ko-Fi. Thanks for listening! I hope you have a dream, too, and you're not afraid to pursue it. Life is far too short and, to be perfectly blunt, we could all use a little magic and luck to make our deepest desires come true. #KofiChallenge
