I've been sending my children to the Southwest Louisiana Art Camp for the past few years. It's a fantasic art program that promotes creativity in children from a very young age to their pre-teen years. I feel lucky to be able to afford to send my children.

So, that got me thinking; I wonder how many kids would love to experience this great program, but for whatever reason, cannot attend? Well, I want to help send a few of them to Art Camp and here's how I'm going to do it...and I need your help.

I love to sketch & draw, mostly as a hobby, but more importantly it's an activity that I share with my children. I spend anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours during most of our drawing sesssions. My sketches turn out decent, from time to time. I want to put those decent sketches in my Etsy store to help raise money for Art Camp scholarships.

How I'll Do It

• When a sketch/drawing is up for sale I'll post an image and specs on this site, letting you know about it on Twitter, Facebook & my Blog.

• If you're interested in purchasing a particular drawing/sketch simply click over to the Etsy store to make your purchase. 

• I'll keep the prices on the sketch reasonable, withing the $10 to $20 range. 20% of the earnings from each piece will go towards an Art Camp Scholarship.

• Everytime I raise enough money to send a child to the Southwest Louisiana Art Camp program, I'll let you know about it on this site and on Twitter. You'll get an affordable piece of art, and we all the get the satification of knowing we've helped move a child in a creative direction.
  

What It Means To Me

I want to put my art to work. It's that simple. For so long I've been content to simply draw as a hobby. I finish my sketchbooks, close them, then put them on a shelf...but they could be doing so much more.

I think we'd all like to leave a small mark on the world when we leave it and I hope that my love of sketching and drawing can do that with this simple idea. Buy purchasing my sketches & drawings you'll be helping to pass the creative torch to kids who otherwise may not have had a chance to explore their artistic side.

I thank you for your time and support...and I'm sure the kids will too.
