Hello my name is Richard J Hinger and I am a Visionary Sculptor that has created found object environmental sculptures for 30+ years which reflect social and environmental statements and commentary. We recently had our home and studio destroyed by a Category 5 hurricane Ian along with 200 sculptures. My work can be viewed at hinger.studio We are also founder of Environmental Sculpture Inc. (esiarts.org) a 501c3 public arts program which has created public art with K-12 students andartists. . Before the hurricane we were booking and proposing museum exhibitions and installation of a 50 Sculpture installation called WasteLand. We want to restore and rebuild the home and studio. We lost two vehicles and everything we own with the home and studio destroyed and left during the hurricane with almost nothing. We still cannot return yet because it is not accessible. We lost everything and desperately need assistance with bills, place to live and rebuilding the studio and home as well as replacing the vehicles. We would appreciate any assistance given. Thank you Kindly.
