VANDALISM UPDATE

In June 2026 our new-to-us studio building was the target of a devastating act of vandalism. The damage was extensive, forcing us to fully gut all the work that Ryan and I have done since we bought it in the last 6 months and start again. There is more than $200K of damage.

What makes this especially heartbreaking is that this building was going to become my new studio. We had spent months dreaming, planning, and investing in turning it into a space that would support our work for years to come. Seeing that vision suddenly interrupted has been incredibly difficult.

Since sharing what happened, we've been overwhelmed by the kindness of people asking how they can help. Your messages, encouragement, and support have meant more to us than we can express. Thank you for caring about us and this project.

We don't have a Patreon or donation page. If you'd like to support us, the best way is by joining the Art Heart Academy (AHA). Your membership directly helps us continue creating art, making educational content, and rebuilding what was lost. It truly makes a difference, and we're deeply grateful to everyone who chooses to be part of this journey with us.
