Business Opportunity

It’s not just business. It’s everything we’ve worked on for the past 35 years wrapped up in a location where other artists can come and stay for free while they work on projects that intend to change the world. I’m nearly ready to buy the property and open the Free Artist Residency for Progressive Social Change, but I’m taking a last minute chance and offering 5% of my net profit from my painting income in exchange for a $100K USD investment to get a place that functions as accommodation, an artist residency program and an art gallery as opposed to the lowest price house in the region and all that implies.

$100 USD paintings (11 x 14″) 800+ SOLD
