Help Me Support Ryman Arts Students This Holiday Season!

This holiday season, I’m joining fellow Ryman Arts alumni to raise funds for Art Bins—professional, high-quality art supply kits given to every incoming student on their first day of class. I was in the class of 1995 when the program was still called the Herbert Ryman Living Masters Program and the arts education and inspiration I received was an essential part of my journey as an artist and filmmaker. 

These Art Bins are more than just supplies. For many of us alumni, they were the first real investment someone made in our creativity and future. They gave us the tools we needed to learn, explore, and grow as artists with confidence. These Art Bins are built to last. I still use mine 30 years later!

Ryman Arts continues to provide free, college-level art instruction, individualized support, and access to a community of young artists from across Southern California. By supporting this fundraiser, you’re helping ensure that the next generation of teen artists receives the same opportunities, materials, and encouragement that meant so much to us.

My goal is to raise funds to help provide Art Bins to incoming Ryman Arts students for the 2026 school year.
Every gift, big or small, brings a young artist one step closer to beginning their creative journey with the tools and support they deserve.

Please help support my cause by donating and sharing this page with others.

Thank you so much for your generosity and for helping support the next generation of young artists!
