I find a lot of joy in art, whether it be drawing, painting, or any other medium. My freshman year I was very blessed to get the chance of taking an art class at school (it was also the first year my school started an art class). I was always interested in art before that but I thank my art class and teacher for what started me on the belief that art could be more than just a small hobby, and also for helping me progress and improve in ways I could have never imagined possible. Even just looking at my pieces of art from my freshman year and comparing them to this years, it’s evident in uncountable ways.
I recently decided I would like to take my interest to a new level and attend college for an art major, although I do not know which college yet. Being that I still have another year before I go off to college, I decided to take advantage of this last summer I have in every way I could. How I decided to achieve this was spend most of my summer developing my technique and learning how to handle art as a career now. To do this, I recently applied, and was accepted, to a three week art camp that will take place at Cow House Studios, in Ireland, from the end of July through mid August. This camp is located on a farm in a small village in west Ireland, so it’ll probably have the same feel I have at home now, only it’ll be overseas. It is also a family operated program. If you would like to view their website and learn more about the camp, the summer program link is:
This camp is something I believe will help me excel tremendously in many ways, and not only in art. I will be learning more on drawing, painting, and photography. While in Ireland I will also be doing some tourism while at the camp, and on my own before and after I attend the camp. The reason I am writing this post is because I have decided to start selling prints of a number of my pieces, and created a catalogue to get an idea of what people are interested in buying and also how many prints of each I should make. I am in the process of creating a website that’ll include every project I’ve done the past few years, information on each, and all of my print options. I also have been working on a lot of typography prints but will upload those all at once later. Payment options will be by paypal for online, or if you know me personally cash/checks will be just fine and I will be able to accept in person. I have decided to start selling my prints now because all money I raise will go toward helping me pay for the camp expenses as well as the plane ticket. I didn’t list the prices or dimensions in the catalogue because I would first like to get a feel on how many people are interested and their preferences.
If you could please message me by phone, on Facebook, Instagram, or I also created an e-mail specifically for art inquiries, raygraceworks@gmail.com , to let me know if you are interested or know of anyone who would be, I would appreciate it GREATLY. I can not thank you or express my gratitude enough for all everyone has done to help me get here. I am beyond thankful and can not think of any words to describe just how much I am. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
