Adopt an Artist

 ADOPT AN ARTIST or TWO

Blair and Laurie Pessemier are mature artists seeking support to continue their creative endeavors.   We make art almost every day and share it with the world.   Would you please support us?


Everyone likes to see our artwork, but only a few people can purchase it.  By adopting our art practice, you (or your gift recipient) will insure our paintings and artwork are seen.

This donation allows us to produce work of all sizes, which we share with the public.  We can develop our work without depending on galleries. 

With this donation, we can afford to offer painting workshop and mentoring to other artists.

We accept donations of any amount, although we are suggesting $250.00 to adopt us, and one of our paintings.


For $250 you will receive:

A certificate of adoption 


Weekly Digital Communication:  Artnotes, an 
update of our paintings and artistic adventures.   We will include a photo of us at work on a painting, maybe yours?


Physical artwork: An original artwork, on canvas, delivered during the year.  We can choose for you, or you can request a subject, style or color.  This work can be delivered as a gift.

Dialogue:  Interaction with the artists.  This can take the form of  input on your own artwork, information how to collect artwork or how to look at a particular piece or style.


Studio/Gallery Tour and lunch with the artists, in the Bologna (or Rome) area. 

For a lesser donation amount, you will receive a beautiful thank you certificate, our weekly Artnotes, one of our works on paper, and a visit/lunch at our studio in Italy.


KEEP ART ALIVE

You can gift this donation to someone who might enjoy a painting or supporting the arts. 

Painting is a challenging career:  everyone likes to see our work, but only a few people purchase it.   By adopting our practice, you (or your gift recipient) will receive a painting to be delivered in the summer of 2026.


Is a full subscription too much?  We accept smaller donations with gratitude.
