Hey All! I’m a new Boise Artist trying to get a start, and I would really love to enter into the Art and Soul Magic Valley contest this April. I hope to enter the juried portion of the contest as well, and I need the entry fee, sponsor money, and jury fee. I would love any help that I can get! I know it’s last minute, but I need the funds by Feb 8.
If you would like to be my sponsor, the fee is $100.
Jury fee is $50
Entry fee is $80
The painting I’m entering is the featured photo for this Gofundme.
Here’s my artist statement so you know a little bit more about the kind of art that I do.
I am a new Boise artist that focuses on the psychological significance of art. The theme of my work embodies free-flowing emotions, whether positive or negative, in observable form. I am interested in how the psyche affects art and how it can be used as a form of therapy. Just as the strokes of paint weave in and out and layer upon each other, the artist’s mind is interconnected with their work of art. Some brush marks are like a clear and crisp thought, and others tangle throughout the painting, expressing a complex set of feelings. Each body of my work demonstrates this entanglement of the mind and the physical. I am passionate about this concept as I use my own art as a method of growth and hope to touch others with the message that art is more than just a pretty painting; it is an emotional journey.
