Start Up - Holly's Folly's Art Escapades

Donation protected
Hello! My name is Holly  :) 
I have 28 years experience running my own business doing hair/makeup in the video/film/photograghy worlds. I've been studying and creating art since 1990. Now, I would like to put those experiences together!
My hair/makeup for production career dried-up as I became more and more ill and in pain. I now work in a job that pays minimum wage, and I'm only able to work 4 hour shifts, 3 days a week because it's very physical work for the health problems I have. Since 2000, I have been getting more ill with Sarcoidosis (Bernie Mac died of this), Asthma, Fibromyalgia, and Sjogren's Syndrome. :/  A back and knee injury from video/film production days coupled with osteoartritis are keeping me down and in horrible pain.
If I could create art full time in my home studio, I could rest when needed and hopefully make more money than I am now to pay for cost of living and business expenses!
I've been trying to get Holly's Follys Art Escapades off the ground since 2012, but the problems of having miniscule funds keep arising.
I need on-line workshops and a couple of courses through Virginia Musuem of Fine Arts to fill in the gaps I have in my knowledge for my biz.
I need funds for supplies and some equipment, and other various things like an Etsy account and e-mail account and marketing.
Thank You for Your Consideration and Help,
Holly
