Quote from one of my collectors: 

 “Instead of the usual one month of dreadful weather in our town, the dreariness continued for 3 or 4 months. By the fourth month, everyone in town was depressed. One day I was walking in town and across the street I saw a painting in the window of a gallery. I crossed the street, entered the gallery, and purchased the painting by Verange because it was so vibrant and so alive.  It lifted me out of the endless grey, wet, weather and carried me into a place of joy.”

About the Art Project:
I invite you to share in spreading the joy of art by participating in this project in a unique way that works best for you.  By focusing on beauty, I strive to convey a sense of peace and serenity reaching deep within each of us to that place of stillness.


  • I am an artist based near San Francisco. I create paintings of joy and tranquility inspired from the the forms and colors of the natural world.  By paying attention to the intersection of harmony and beauty, my intention is to create vibrant paintings filled with joy.

  • My paintings have been exhibited in Northern California and Oregon and I have a great opportunity to exhibit in Charleston, South Carolina during the International Spoleto Festival.  I will be shipping a collection of paintings to Charleston for the month long show AND I have been invited to attend the Opening.

 

  • With your generous contributions, I can accomplish all of the necessary logistics of creating a dynamic Art Exhibition across the country.


How Your Funds Count!

I have already created the Paintings for the Exhibition and now I need to prepare for the framing of the Artwork, the crating of the Artwork, the shipping of the Paintings,  and the other logistics necessary for a successful Exhibit.

           


Total Project Cost: $9295.
Estimated Costs:  Shipping Materials:  $1935, Framing: $3125, Shipping: $1200, Photography  $585 (Archival record of paintings), Travel Costs: $2300.

What will happen with the funds if I do not make the goal on Indiegogo?

  • This exhibit has been announced and the press releases sent out.  I have my plane ticket, the art is produced, and I will be there.
  • Your generous contributions will make the logistics of this project happen a whole lot easier.  When the logistics get covered, I can focus on what I do best, creating art work to share with the world.


How will the funds be used if the initial goal is exceeded?

  • Future Scouting Trips for additional gallery representation.  I have found that the best way to find a great fit for my art is to make a personal visit after I have done extensive research.
  • Purchase blocks of time for creating more paintings to share.
  • Create a coffee table book of my paintings.


Whose lives does art touch? (i.e. What Difference does it make?)


What a joy to fill our lives with smiles, joy, and laughter.  "A thing of beauty is a joy forever."  (Keats)   And what a privilege and honor it is for me to be able to work as an artist.  I just love it when my paintings find new homes (collectors), as then the paintings can go out into the world and do their work.  It is as though little lights are sent out into the world, lighting the way, giving hope, radiating joy.


What are the Risks & Challenges

  • I have been exhibiting my paintings for years and I have a very successful track record with numerous projects like this.
  • This effort culminates the last year of intense and focused work to produce the paintings for the Exhibition.
  • Most importantly, it will open a new door for others to experience and share in my work.


Other Ways You Can Help

Of course financial contributions are great and much appreciated.  Whether financial support of this project is for you or not,  there is a tremendous contribution you can make:  Help me to get the word out.  

  • I am most gracious when you pass this on to friends via e-mail, word of mouth, frequent phone calls, or social media (Facebook, twitter, instagram or whatever your social media of choice is)  Use the Indiegogo share tools to make your life easier!
