Support the Residency

Help me get to France.

I have been accepted to the artist residency at Château d’Orquevaux in France. Two weeks of painting alongside other artists and writers is a dream I have worked toward for years, and I am raising funds to help cover the trip.

If you believe in my work and want to see me get there, I would be so grateful for your support. As a thank you, you will receive a piece of art inspired by what I learn and see during my stay.

Residency: Feb 16 – Mar 1, 2027Donations open through Jan 15

The Residency

Château d’Orquevaux

The château is an international artists and writers residency in the Haute-Marne, in the Champagne-Ardenne region of northeastern France. It was built in the Napoleon III style as a hunting lodge, on an estate with ties to the philosopher Denis Diderot through his family.

I was selected for the residency and awarded the Denis Diderot Grant, which will be applied toward my stay. The rest of the trip is mine to cover, and support from friends, collectors and fellow art lovers helps make it possible.

How It Works
  1. Give by Venmo. The amount tells me which thank-you piece is yours.
  2. Email me your name and shipping address so I know where to send it.
  3. Prints ship by April 5, 2027, after I return. You will choose from work inspired by my stay once it is made.
  4. For a custom painting, we talk through the subject and I begin. Plan on about a month from start to finish.

Thank you for believing in my work. Every piece ships to you at no extra cost, and giving is open through January 15, 2027.
