Donate to Hilary's Art Classes

The good news is that Andrea has said it's finally time for me to move on from drawing to painting. The bad news is that the classes have taken a big jump in cost. Any help with moving forward would be greatly appreciated.

Nothing can be beautiful which is not true.

The world is not yet exhausted; let me see something tomorrow which I never saw before.

The world holds us to be fools; let us hold it to be mad.

"Nation-wise, we're in a pickle."
