Courage to Create
Creativity moves in a cycle:
We receive in community.
We create from what is alive.
We release the work.
What it generates returns to community—and the cycle begins again.
For one week, I am releasing selected original artwork from my studio with a goal of generating $5,000.
The first $2,500 will provide materials and a protected month to create six new Courage to Create paintings. The second $2,500 will fund the professional recording of two new original songs.
The six paintings will then be released as originals and limited-edition prints. The resources they generate will help gather and build a faith-rooted cooperative community where emerging creatives can receive the formation, courage, structure, and relationships they need to bring their own work into the world.
I am beginning with what is already in my hands—offering it, releasing it, and allowing it to make room for what comes next.
