Carson area artist hopes to create local works of art
Local Works of Art Professional watercolorist and arts instructor, Dana Childs is embarking upon a major painting project that includes creating a series of watercolors of the Sierra Nevada as well as supporting a local youth art painting project in our local town of Genoa if the initial goal is met.
In order to accomplish this new burst of productivity and creativity, Childs — www.dlauren.net — is utilizing crowd funding to support her efforts.
“I’m hoping this will reenergize me as I continue my work with special needs children and adult and youth at risk. I plan to keep all my supporters updated on my progress as well as offering perks and complementary gifts of art in exchange for your support.”
She’s chosen Hatchfund, which is a crowd funding entity solely designed for artists. Her goal is to raise $2500 by July 10th and was hoping that this project might be something the local community would be interested in supporting.
In addition to a new Sierra Wilderness painting series and new public art in Genoa at the Morman State Historical Park, one of the major outcomes of this will be “a renewed art spirit as mine is so absorbed in passing it on through teaching that I rarely have time to refuel my own creativity tank by spending time painting.”
After summer, she plans to continue teaching art to mainstream and special needs students as well as working with rehabilitating teens at China Springs. “Any reenergizing I can squeeze in this summer will benefit them as much as it will help me to fill my creativity tank,” says Childs.
I am open to input on this journey and for larger donors ($500 or more) I will meet with them personally and create a custom 16x20 watercolor to suit their needs and interests. Another great way to help would be to share her project information and link:
