Hi friends! This is a quick but important note to invite you to join me in something new, to invite you to a few events, and invite you to forgive our technical difficulties.
Jumping right in….
I’ve decided to join Patreon and would like to invite you to join me!
Patreon is a platform where creatives can connect with people who love their work and support their artistry, aka their Patrons of the Arts. Until now, art for me has been an outlet for creativity, with my life-focus mostly being home-making, raising children, and homeschooling. Lately, though, my art business has grown to be something I need (and want) to work on more than just occasionally; taking a lot more time, money, and attention.
My heart has always been full of encouragement and exhortation, (sometimes to the point of explosion! Haha!). I know I’m in this world to inspire beauty and goodness and creativity; "Come awake to the MOST REAL things!” Now is the time for me to find my voice.
Patreon is a way for me to give you monthly benefits in exchange for donations.
Here’s how it works….
Go to the website (click the link below) and you’ll see monthly tiers starting at as little as $2/mo.
For each tier, I offer various things you might want to receive from me like art prints, merch, and inspiring email and video updates. Also, there are things we can DO together, like virtual book studies (The Artist’s Way, anyone?) and FB live painting parties! And, if you’ve always wanted one of my paintings but the pricing prohibits, I offer a layaway program for original commissioned pieces! Once you choose a tier you’ll get notifications and you can join in when things are happening! Fun!
In short, Patreon helps to fund my art and other creative endeavors.
It gives us a way to "chat" about art, beauty, goodness, and THE big questions! Let’s encourage each other to CREATE. (Yes, you!)
It makes it easy for me to send you stuff, create WITH you, and create FOR you in a more affordable way.
Patreon gives me the mental and heart space to focus on creating projects as they come; things like painting, writing, art shows, speaking, and teaching engagements. (And, the books we're writing!! YES!)
Contact me if you have questions or suggestions!
Please consider becoming a Patron. Thank you!

Technical Difficulties
In case you tried to respond to my last email newsletter and it bounced back…So sorry!
The same day I sent the newsletter we moved things around (for Jared’s new business) at Rackspace. (Or something like that…?? When I say “we” in this case I mean Jared, my live-in IT man who manages those things.) Somehow in the shuffle, my art email address was TURNED OFF and we didn’t realize it until I learned about it from some of you in person. OOOOPSIE!
I asked for a “back and forth” and that truly is my desire. Please resend your messages or write new ones to sarah@sarahgeesey.com. We’re back up and running!!
