The fifteen

2 finished · 13 to go

Each one is a 4×6 original at $140, and there is only one of it. The ones still to come already have their backgrounds painted and are waiting for their subjects. You can buy those too.


Glutton the Frog, a green tree frog resting under a white and lavender flower, painted in oils

The one people keep asking for.

Glutton the Frog, painted last year.

Chloe painted him before any of this was a plan. Enough people asked for a copy that she worked out she could paint her way to Los Angeles. The fifteen below came from that.

Three ways to help

All three are her own work, and each one adds to the one before it.

What happens after you buy


In her words

I’m Chloe and I’m 14. I’m fundraising to go to iPOP, a convention where I can get in front of people in the modeling and acting industry to make connections to expand my career in the field.

My parents have already paid for the deposit and for so much in my journey and I want to help them by raising the money for this using another passion of mine: painting.

— Chloe

She sets up the camera, writes what she's going to say, and records it herself.

Six auditions over five days: fashion print, runway, a monologue, a TV commercial, singing and dancing. Workshops through the fall, headshots in November, and a dance she choreographed herself.


What’s left, and when it’s due

$3,000 is due to iPOP on 14 December. That payment is what holds her place in January.

$4,255 still to raise of the $5,250 trip

Updated

Already paid by her parents: $995

  • The whole trip$5,250
  • Already paid by her parents$995
  • Due to iPOP by 14 December$3,000

The money covers the convention fee, five nights in Los Angeles, and getting there and back. Anything past the goal is set aside for her acting and modelling.


Where the two halves go

The fifteen paintings The convention

Her place at iPOP, and all six competitions. It is the biggest number by a distance and the one with a December deadline.

The three commissions Getting there and staying there

The drive from San Diego, five nights of parking, the fees the hotel collects at checkout, and food for the week.

The prints Whatever is left

The paintings and the commissions do not quite reach the total on their own. The prints are what close the gap.

She’s fourteen and working to help pay her own way.

Every painting on this page is one she made. Buying one puts her in a room in January with the people who decide who gets work, and the $3,000 for that room is due on December 14.
