The legendary artist and illustrator Barron Storey has been so many things to so many of us: teacher, mentor, inspiration, and friend. Now this great force of creativity needs our help. Barron has quietly been struggling with health issues for some time now, and now needs to be in assisted care. He’s currently in a small, private facility where he’s doing well and receiving the care he needs.

This GoFundMe will help pay for that care. I'm Adam Caldwell, Barron's friend and former student. I've been helping him manage this situation for the past year (along with several others). Proceeds will go directly to Barron’s wife and lasting inspiration, Petra, so she can continue to afford to manage his care. This will help to pay for Barron's Medical bills, transportation, pharmacy, and to make his and Petra's lives easier.

For those who would like to be in touch with Barron or Petra, please leave a contact where you can be reached.

Barron is a truly extraordinary person who has profoundly impacted people with his grace, talent, and humanity. Barron’s teachings and art continue to echo through a broad community of artists and illustrators. Any amount you can contribute is sincerely appreciated and goes a long way.
