some new pics

I know I haven't had much to say lately, I'm kinda in a dark place right now nothing seems to be going right and I lost the light in the tunnel. BUT I had my grandson this weekend and although the terrible twos are certainly there, he's still a joy. Head on over to the site to look through it, order a sign, hire me for cad or design ;) or pass it on http://katehagerartist.com
Enjoy the pics.

feeling a bit defeated

 Where are my clients? They must be out there...you must be out there. I'm not doing well at the hide and seek. I have several charcoals that would go great with decor in your home, acrylics...hand painted and drawn direct from artist. I am a senior draftsman, 14 years - would like to get out of the office with my landscape art, murals, sign work. I know there must be work out there. I charge to create beauty what others do to come paint off white plain bland.... Where are you my clients?? http:/katehagerartist.com - I'm getting wore out, wore down, need out of the negative environment I'm in everyday. I am good at creating...let me help you out

put something new in your landscape this year

Add some design work or if your local to Michigan patio pavers hand painted and lacquered to stay outside year round to make your garden/ landscape/ patio/ pool uniquely your own this year. We are busy busy getting stuff around for our heirloom garden but have time to do hand painted sign work still :-) head over to http://katehagerartist.com and check out other examples and the farm page.

happy hump day, it's finally warming up...think green...think gardens!!

The plants are teeny....but we know they'll become this again, the hope those tiny plants bring, of new life of a summer filled with FRESH produce, healthy food. We are trying to bring this more and more to our community, any help you can give up getting the equipment we need since the gov't won't let us have our return to do so it greatly appreciated. http://katehagerartist.com

Signs, stones, landscape design, hand painted work all available just drop me a line and do away with corporate America big biz running off a China factory stuff....support local and small. Visual art available also.

they took our return, need to raise money for hay equipment

We filed injured spouse to get half our taxes back and at least mostly pay for the hay equipment we NEED to cut, rake and bale the field to feed everyone through the year. Our return was going to give us 3/4 of what we need for the used equipment, nothing new just good enough to get the job done. They said we didn't make enough money on the farm to get that half back through injured spouse...BUT..we still need the equipment. We both work full time but that goes to mortgage, insurance, insurance, insurance...$910 a month to that alone because your required to keep insurance on $1500 vehicles...required to keep health insurance on everyone in the home in a world where employers no longer include it as a benefit, animal feed, utilities the list goes on. We get those paid through jobs neither of us likes or wants, but haven't found another way to pay for the farm to just grow the heirloom produce, do the art work and raise animals like we both would like. I pondered many fund raising options, have tried gofundme before for the farm with no luck, have tried different things, thought about the goat milk soap, by the time you make it, labels, envelopes and shipping it kills the profit which is what we need to get the equipment. Thought about bumper stickers but no one uses them anymore, and they aren't really economical to print unless you had a ton of orders first. Which has left me to art prints offered for you donations wallet size for $3, 3x5 for $5 4x6 for $7 and 5x7 for $10, if there is a particular piece you've seen of mine you want let me know otherwise I'll send a signed print of one to the USA address you provide with the donation. Email me to get an address to send it and share with anyone that you believe would help a small time farm in need. http://katehagerartist.com

spring, spring where art thou o spring...

Had some time to do a little painting this weekend on stones for the upcoming Pool School, dug a ton of lilacs to transplant to the new house....and then yup, snow and freezing rain :/ Didn't get those or the Iris's transplanted yesterday, husband don't work today so hopefully he can get them in the ground. Still very much trying to work my way out of an office be it into a landscape design job that is part office, part field, or preferred a mass flood of customers wanting hand painted sign work, freelance design work, goat milk soap, hand made lotions and body butters and art for the walls...pass along this blog and the site http://katehagerartist.com please please...thank you thank you
