Kickstarter

My lovely donors,

I have finished your reward prints early, and am ready to send them to you! Hooray!! I have sent you a survey to fill out with your current shipping address. Please send me a message if you have any questions or problems with the form.

It is so exciting to share these prints with you! They came out better than I expected and I am curious to hear your thoughts and responses. I want them to be a happy surprise for you, so I am not posting any photos here (but you can check a my blog in a few days for a sneak peak...).

Have a great day! ;o}

Well, as all good things must come to an end, sadly so has my residency... I made the very long journey back to Colorado, arrived late last night, and luckily, so did my artwork! Hooray!

I had an amazing experience while I was in Venice. You can see pictures and read more about my experiences on my blog. CLICK HERE  I also created an album on Facebook, which you can view if we're 'friends'. I had such a wonderful time, really I could go on and on...

Next I will be printing your donor prints, and will contact you in the next few weeks to get your shipping address information. So, again, thank you so very much for your encouragement and support!

I+We have far surpassed my fundraising dreams and goals! There are just 21 hours left until my Kickstarter fundraiser is officially over. With the financial backing in place, I can now focus on the experiences of international travel, being a tourist, and making art in a new, foreign place under pressure... now to pack and get myself there - I leave this Sunday!

I will send you updates along the progress of my journey when possible (not everyday, don't worry). You can also check my blog for more frequent postings, jenghormley.wordpress.com

Also, I have been in touch with another artist who just came from the same residency, and his wisdom and insight have been quite helpful in my preparations. 

So, wish me luck, and thank you all again so very much for your support! I will be contacting you upon my return mid-August to confirm your mailing/shipping address so that you can receive your reward prints.

Take care and happy summer!  ;o) Jennifer

As the end of my Kickstarter campaign draws near, so does my departure date. Many, many thanks to the 40+ people who have contributed thus far. I have almost reached my overall fundraising goal of $2500, to ensure that all costs associated with the trip are covered. We are so close! 

Thanks to the Denver Public Library, I am all caught up on the history of Venice, it's many influences and various stages of success, triumph, and devastation. I have refreshed my knowledge of the great artists of the Italian Renaissance, and begun studying the ornate architecture of Venice. Now all I need to do is get there, see these things for myself in person, and make some killer art about it. No pressure...

I am a nerdy early-bird, so I have already started making piles of things to pack. My biggest challenge is deciding what art-making tools and supplies I will need to bring, and what to leave at home. So many unknowns.
