Pat Guerre hasn't added a story.
My name is Pat Guerre and I am a struggling artist. I have painted for over half my life but only shown publicly the last 3 years. It has been amazing and yet stressful at the same time.
I live in a small 2 bedroom house with my disabled wife whom I care for. After years of painting in our dining room, I eventually got my garage some what together enough to work in there.
On Nov 4th our daughter was in a serious car accident with multiple fractures throughout her body. After 4 days in ICU and another 4 days in Med Surg, she was released on Nov 12th and came home with us for recovery and rehab. On Nov 19th I went north and moved her stuff out of her apartment and half filled the space I had spent weeks clearing for a studio.
Now I need to build a room/studio in the garage that will have a closet as to empty out our guest room as to give our daughter some assemblage of normality. This space will enable me to block off the rest of the things that now clutter what I considered a studio and allow me some of my own space as to paint again.
This will be a temporary space but needs to be sealed well enough to keep all the critters out as to protect the clothes and other belongings that will be moved into it.
I am offerring works of art that will be highly discounted and am including 2 that were painted for a group show in February called Matter's of the Heart. Hoping to get things done quickly so I may replace them with other works.
The goal is to raise about $1000.00 for framing materials, siding, and a proper door. It will consist of about 36 feet of 9' tall walls and if things go really well, I will be covering the block on the bottom half of 2 of the existing walls.
It has been a rough road caring for my wife and trying to make ends meat on a fixed income and now I will be helping take care of my daughter as well. I really need to build this space and continue on my artistic journey.
Thanks for your time.

12" X 12" acrylic on canvas. Part of the Diamonds Aren't Forever work. Last 1 sold was for a 50th wedding anniversary and everyone signed the heart with a gold paint pen. Great for weddings or? All original and in many colors and styles.

This is one of the works that was to be hung at the show in February. It is 4 12" X12" canvas painted with acrylic paint. Pieces can be hung as shown, vertical, or horizontal. Normally I would ask $100.00 for each canvas so this is a %50 savings. The $30.00 is for packaging and shipping though it will be returned if you pick it up.
