Renaissance
In bloom
crowdfunding + sponsorship opportunity
May - July 2026
Should sponsorship or donation contributions exceed the direct production needs of Renaissance in Bloom, all remaining funds will be invested in expanding the project’s reach and long-term impact.
Educational Jewelry Workshops
Development of in-person and online DIY jewelry classes that share the artistry of preserved botanical resin jewelry. These programs will make the creative process accessible to wider audiences, fostering learning, creativity, and community connection.
Website Rebrand & Expansion
Creation of a redesigned website that embodies the ethos of Renaissance in Bloom—highlighting human hands as the new luxury. The platform will serve as both a digital gallery for fine art and an educational hub for wearable art, supporting continued engagement well beyond the exhibition.
Sustained Community Impact
By reinvesting surplus funds into education and digital access, sponsors ensure that the exhibition’s mission—to celebrate authenticity, craftsmanship, and the extraordinary in the ordinary—continues to inspire long after the exhibition.
The Use of Additional Funds
Why It Matters: The exhibition creates a dialogue about art, nature, and coexistence, inspiring reflection and highlighting the extraordinary in the ordinary. It speaks to an audience that values authenticity, craftsmanship, and unique design.

"Renaissance in Bloom" is a solo exhibition featuring original black‑and‑white ink and colored pencil illustrations of Greek-inspired figures adorned with preserved botanical resin jewelry. Each physical jewelry piece depicted in the artwork will be displayed alongside its corresponding illustration on stone jewelry displays.
Community Impact: We aim to foster meaningful conversations about the connections between art, nature, and the human experience, attracting art enthusiasts, collectors, and those drawn to classical forms and wearable art.
