2024 was a good art year for me. With the help and funding from my collectors, I finished 7 new entries in my flagship World of One series. I was in 4 gallery shows, including one in Chongqing, China. I also left New York and got lost in the deserts of Texas before coming back to Boston.

I wouldn’t have been able to do any of these things without the support of my patrons and collectors. In 2024 year we raised $3,500 in donations towards the making of new art. From those donations I’ve created some of my best work.

I have a few big projects lined up for 2025 already. But what I’m writing to you about today dear reader, is to ask for your help in raising money to attend my next residency. This residency will be in Finland, and begins in May 2025 at a program called the Way Beyond Residency. I will be creating designs which combine origami with sacred geometry. My goal is to raise $7000 by the end of January to cover all expenses associated with undertaking this massive opportunity.

Since I don’t really know how these will turn out, I’ve prepared to offer proven art as incentive instead. Donations of at least a certain amount will receive:

$100 - a signed personalized postcard.
$500 - an 11” x 14” World of One print of your choosing. Limited to 15x.
$1,000 - a 24” wide World of One print of your choosing. Limited to 10x.
$3,000 - a 24” tall exhibition sized World of One print of your choosing. Limited to 5x.
$5,000 - two 24” tall exhibition sized World of One print of your choosing.

While donations of any amount are accepted and encouraged, these are the levels that get rewards. So far, we’ve already raised $200! Donations can be made via my Fractured Atlas sponsorship which is tax deductible, or Venmo (no fees!) which is not.

Thank you for your consideration, without your interest, there is no art.
