{Giveaway 4 of 10} READ TO END TO WIN A FRAMED FINE ART PRINT, valued at $300.

If you’ll indulge me in a story (as you usually do, and I thank you) – 7 years ago I spoke at my first conference, After Dark. The man running it, Dave Junion, took a big chance on me. I had no experience. But I was a fireball of passion. I came and spoke and taught and little did I know, but that man taught me an unimaginable amount about life and creating. He taught me that art is play, and that I should always remember that.

At that conference, he introduced me to the people who run White House Custom Colour. I sat down with them, at my very first sponsor meeting, and started out the way any reasonable person would: by telling them that I have absolutely nothing to offer. Just kidding, no reasonable person would do that. But I did. Facepalm.

I told them I can’t really use their products and that they have no reason to sponsor me. “It’s okay,” Mike said, “we just want to help good people do good things in the world.” And from that day on, WHCC sponsored me to speak about my story at various events, and even makes a monthly contribution to The Light Space.

I learned to set the bar very, very high. That if I am going to be in this business, the standard cannot be views/likes/shares/numbers. We cannot be reduced to that. My bar is set at kindness and will never waver. Through connections, like those with Dave and WHCC and so many more, I have learned that there are people who want to support good people, and that the best people remember that all of this – art and life – is play. Thank you for those lessons.

Now, I proudly DO use WHCC for my prints after working with them to develop their fine art section, and they are giving away a large, framed fine art print to the lucky winner today. Leave a comment to enter telling me about what values are most important to you. <3
