Help A Severely Disabled Artist to Keep Creating

“You aren’t from around here, are you?” is a commonly asked question from citizens when they meet me. “You are like a breath of fresh air or sunshine!” To state I have personality is an understatement. My name is Heather Deogracia, and I am an award-winning Graphic Production Artist who has spent the past 9 years creating unique artwork with my eyes closed, called Blind Contour.

I’m raising funds because I am hiding a secret…not that I identify it all the time, but I have a very severe case of bipolar that left me in a psych ward for an entire month last year. I’m still recovering, and that is where you come in!! I need a few special angels to assist in getting out my emotions with some art supplies to assist in my dream project of a Graphic Novel I am creating at the moment. I am in research and education at the moment. My funds that are being raised are for art supplies I cannot afford with my disability.

Your donation will help cover:

Quality sketchbooks and canvases

Watercolors, acrylics, and markers

Digital art tools (like stylus replacements, apps, etc.)

Entry fees for local art shows or online platforms

And anything else that fuels my creativity!

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. If you can’t donate, sharing this with your friends means the world. Thank you for helping me grow as an artist!
