Update #11: Hey World ~ I'm Not Giving Up
Hey generous backers and the rest of the world! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me and I hope you will follow me as I move on. This will be the next to last update here. I'll be back with one more to wrap things up on Monday. It's been an interesting ride and I've learned a lot during this process. I may or may not be back with another project on kickstarter, but one thing is certain. I am not giving up! I realize my intentions here were not clear enough, but I do believe I can learn how art will change the world and take the action to do so. I have no shortage of ideas. So I leave you toady with an beautiful example of how one musician is doing exactly what I have in mind with his music. His music is his activism but so are his actions as he is seriously involved in several world changing charities. I have to admit I have a massive crush on this man, and I really dig his music. Have a listen!
Update #10: If It's Not Working, Fix It
Here we are counting down the last 10 days of the fundraiser and just about 40% funded. I have to admit I had a bit of a meltdown yesterday but thanks to my resilient nature and a few caring friends I bounced back and considered my options.
I did a serious evaluation of what the project looked like and what I was saying and decided I could do a lot better. So I gave the project a makeover. My ultimate goals are the same but I think I made my intentions clearer. I hope you'll agree and I'd love your opinion.
In the spirit of change I have also given my website a makeover and I think my intentions are clearer there as well.
This final week I will be doing everything I can to contact people and ASK. Ask them to look at the project. Ask them to consider pledging. Ask them to spread the word. I am asking you to ask as well.
THANK YOU!!!!!
Update #9: Who Does She think She Is?
Fund raising is really hard.
This has been the most stressful thing I've done since quitting the "real" job and I decided it's time to lighten up. Odds are against me at this point but it ain't over till it's over!
Don't break the poor kids heart. Make a pledge and pass the hat! We need everyone.

I am an environmental artist working in digital mixed media and paint. My work serves to enlighten and educate about environmental concerns while creating strangely beautiful images for decorative use. Environmental art by my definition is the confluence of art and environmental restoration. Please check my website and blog for more about me and my work.
Look at us - almost 100 backers! We do believe in you and look forward to what you create next!
