For over 40 years, I have lived my passion as a fine artist, and for the last two decades, I’ve had the immense privilege of teaching the beautiful, unpredictable medium of watercolor. Many of you have followed my journey, collected my paintings of Hawaii’s stunning reef animals and tropical flora, or sat in my classes. You have filled our hearts, and you are a part of our story. 
 
 
 Now, my wife Cynthia and I are about to take the biggest step into our next exciting chapter of our lives. As we get older, we realized that the rising costs of living in Paradise would eventually be more than we could manage. Rather than standard retirement, we’ve decided to write a bold, new chapter. We are selling practically everything we own, embracing a traveling artist lifestyle, and embarking on a long-term international travel adventure. We are setting up a home base in Thailand and traveling wherever inspiration strikes—from the beaches of Bali to the mountains of Vietnam. 
 
 
 We are not facing a hardship or a medical crisis, and we are incredibly grateful for that. But as we liquidate our lives to fund this dream entirely on our own, we realize that stepping into the unknown takes a village. This journey isn't just about travel; it is about fueling my creative passion, developing new online watercolor courses from exotic locations, and painting commissions from the road. 
 
 
 Many of our followers have asked how they can support us, stay connected, or simply "buy us a coffee" or lunch at our favorite cafe. We set up this GoFundMe as a way for our community to become active patrons of this next artistic era. How Your Support Helps: Your contribution buys fresh blocks of high-quality watercolor paper or tubes of paint for beachside sessions, funds days of travel and cultural exploration as we seek new subjects to paint, and helps secure the digital tools and tech needed to keep my online teaching platform running smoothly from anywhere in the world. 
 
 
 Our Promise to You: We want to take you with us! Every single person who contributes will be a part of our virtual travel crew. I will be sharing my journey, my sketches, my inspirations, and the behind-the-scenes reality of living a creative life on the road. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, your years of support for my art, and for helping us turn this beautiful new page. With gratitude and excitement, Garry &amp; Cynthia
