Financial Support for Independent Creative

Hi all,

I'm moving through a challenging time financially. In May I was terminated from both of my main sources of income for unexplained reasons. I was also denied unemployment benefits. Since then, I've been working as a freelance photographer and artist, which has been a blessing to be able to do but has proved to be inconsistent as I'm just getting started. All of this change has had an effect on my mental health and I've had some pretty challenging weeks navigating the stress and overwhelm.

I'm currently facing some overdue bills, including August rent ($1k), which I am most concerned about getting taken care of as soon as possible in order to avoid more late fees and potential consequences. I will continue to push my offerings as a creative and via other pathways in the works, but I've found myself needing to ask for community support. Please donate if you're able, or support me through one of my other offerings:

Buy a painting

Commission a painting

Become a paid subscriber to my Substack

Book a session with me

You can also hire me as a product photographer/content creator for your business. To discuss this, DM me on IG.

Thank you for reading and for supporting me through this challenging time. Your help will assist me in recovering and creating more stability for myself in the process.
