Short Summary

My name is "Minaz I was born in Persia (Iran). I discovered my gift and talent for Art and painting at a very young age of twelve years old; it was at that age where I painted my first oil color painting in the style of fine art. It was for a competition held for all schools in the area.

As an immigrant single mother I was never able to go after my passion. But living in America gave me many opportunities to paint and show my work from time to time. But life holds you back when you have to work two jobs and ensure the well being of your teenage kids. It was an honor raising my kids with dignity and honesty. I am proud of both of them and their military service to our country. They make me feel that I have done something right.

It has now been 21 years since we immigrated to America and my children are now grown and living their lives in different parts of the country. I have worked retail for over 13 years. I figured if I have to barely make it working for others in a department store, I might as well try to do what I have dreamed of all my life at last. That way, if I barely make it I can at least be happy and find some meaning in my life.

I plan on making my paintings into greeting cards and allow the whole world to enjoy my work, which represents cultural diversity and the beautiful colors of life. It is not easy for an artist to sell his or her paintings while she is alive…I mean, not really. But this way I can share my art and know that a piece of who I am will touch the hearts and minds of those who enjoy my work without them having to purchase the paintings.

Your contributions will help with the marketing and publicity of my greeting cards. In addition, I will utilize the funds for printing and distribution. 

What We Need & What You Get

I have calculated my start-up cost to be $10,000:

Printing and Material: $4000

Marketing and Publicity: $6000

I want YOU to also have a piece of my work so here are the perks:

$1 contribution: you will receive an email thank you from my campaign.

$10 contribution: you will receive a virtual greeting card with my notes of gratitude via email.

$25 contribution: you will receive a greeting card with a painting of your choice in the mail.

$100 contribution: you will receive a poster of any painting of your choice in the mail with original signature.

$200 contribution: you will receive a copy of any painting of your choice on a canvas with original signature.

If I don’t meet my goal I will print less initial material and split the funds 40% to 60% between Material and Marketing. 

The Impact

As you can see, my paintings represent many cultures and many colors of life. This is my way of communicating with the world. My paintings demonstrate the beauty of diversity in people in every corner of universe. My dream is promote diversity through my colors and show the beauty of being different from one another.
