Artists in Crisis: Help Sean and Snow Stay Afloat

We’re Sean and Snow — artists, partners, and proud dog parents to Barney. Our life is built around creating: we make things with soul, with style, and with a stubborn kind of hope. Whether it’s custom spinning guitars or glowing lamps made from recycled bottles, our work is how we survive, how we stay hopeful, and how we stay connected to the world.

But right now, we’re in crisis.

In the last few weeks:

• Our electricity was shut off.

• Our only vehicle broke down.

• We’ve fallen behind on rent and are facing eviction.

• And we lost our other beloved dog, Lassie.

We’ve been working nonstop — selling our art, taking odd jobs, doing everything we can — but we’ve hit a wall. We’re asking for $5,000 to get through this rough patch and get our lives and work back on track.

Your donation will help us:

• Restore electricity so we can get back to work and power our tools

• Pay down back rent so we don’t lose our home and studio

• Fix our van so we can keep creating, delivering, and connecting

• Cover basic living costs for the next few weeks so we can focus on moving forward instead of just surviving

This isn’t just about paying bills — it’s about keeping our creative lives intact. The art we make isn’t a side gig. It’s our livelihood. It’s our purpose. It’s what we have to offer the world.

We’ve always believed in the power of community, and in the idea that if you put beauty and care into the world, it will come back around. If you’re able to help — with a donation or a share — we’d be forever grateful.

Thank you for seeing us, for believing in art, and for helping two working artists and their dog get through the storm.

With gratitude and love,

Sean, Snow & Barney
