“I fought my way out of homelessness. I finally have a home. Please help me protect it while I get back on my feet.”

I’M ASKING MY COLLECTORS & COMMUNITY TO HELP ME KEEP MY HOME.

I don’t make posts like this lightly.

I’m Courtney Jolliff — artist, painter, creator, and someone who has fought through homelessness, loss, a devastating house fire, and more setbacks than I ever imagined I would have to face.

And after everything… I finally got a home. I finally beat homelessness.

Today, I’m facing eviction — and my electricity has already been shut off.

I’m asking my collectors, supporters, friends, fellow artists, community members, and everyone who has ever believed in what I’m building:

Please help me get through this moment.

I’m not asking you to believe in a dream that hasn’t happened yet. I’m asking you to help protect a life and an artistic career that I’ve already fought incredibly hard to build.

My work is already in private collections. I’ve exhibited publicly, been featured in the press, been discovered by artist and collector Raub Welch, and continued creating after losing an enormous body of work in a fire. I’ve rebuilt myself more than once.

I just need my community to help me make it through this chapter.

If you can contribute financially, please do it today.
If you’re a collector, consider purchasing an existing work or commissioning me.
If you can’t give, please share this post with someone who can.

Every $25, $50, $100, $500 — every purchase, every commission, every share — can help.

I fought too hard to get here to lose my home now.

Please help me keep the lights on, keep a roof over my head, and keep painting.

With love and gratitude,

If my work has ever moved you, this is the moment I’m asking you to move with me.
