Raendrop Art was developed by Addy Flint, a thirteen year old with chronic illness and a passion for art. She understands the hospital can be an isolating, boring place to spend extended amounts of time. She hopes to provide inspiration, joy and hope to teen patients who are undergoing medical treatment. Addy believes patients should be able to access interesting, age-appropriate art even when a patient is not in Art Therapy. Raendrop Art will provide patients with boxes of project-focused art supplies in conjunction with artist-led classes. Addy is a student, a multi-media artist, a dog lover and a two-time cancer survivor. But her creativity and passion for art is what defines her. Addy has won art contests at the city and state level and placed third in the Reflections Contest National Art contest across various media. Her current passions are anime and alcohol brush markers. Raendrop Art is creating a password-protected website populated with videos of local artists creating specific projects. Teens 13-18 years old will be able to request a specific project box with the supplies needed from the hospital staff and can create the project by following the videos. Yes, we realize Raendrop Art is spelled a bit oddly. Addy’s talent for art was passed down to her from her grandmother, Susann Rae. Addy named her organization- RAEndrop Art - in her honor. Sue passed away in 2020 after an isolated stay in a physical rehab facility during the COVID Pandemic. Witnessing this tragedy solidified Addy’s drive to create a community for those undergoing treatment creating connection, community, hope and joy.

BEADED NECKLACES - “Jewelry is a very personal thing... it should tell a story about the person who’s wearing it.” -Garance Daré It all begins with the beads. Maybe you want something elegant. Or maybe you have a creative idea to share with the world. Whatever it is, you can tell your story through jewelry. Don’t worry about perfection, create something that looks like YOU. Lucenna will walk you through how to create beaded necklaces in different styles. Lucenna is a young entrepreneur living in Hawaii.

She primary focus is as portrait and commercial photographer on a local, national, as well as international level.

From eye catching billboards, architecture and even plants, to watching movies or a dance, art is everywhere and it inspires me daily. Seeing art is a feast for the eyes, but creating art has a way of connecting to the soul. This is why Raendrop Art resonates with me! Through their vision of sparking creativity and igniting joy, they are promoting physical and emotional well being. - Gena https://www.raendropart.com/classes/watercolor-painting monthly 0.5 2022-02-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6138bbc98c05a84fa5838119/1631561037363-WVICCB0BFKWITUWZ0ZJB/BlueRoomStudio_website_logo_art_stationery_o.png Raendrop Art - WATERCOLOR PAINTING - Make it stand out. Laurel will walk the artist through creating a watercolor painting utilizing their Raendrop Art supplies. She will show how to utilize brush strokes to create definitions and shadow, provide tips and tricks for working with watercolor paint and share creative inspiration. At the end of this project you will be able to create unique greeting cards and paintings to share! Laurel works primarily in watercolor and oil mediums, creating works that are recognizable in form and subject but expanded and reimagined to include looser interpretation in my watercolors and added texture and interest in my oils. Her paintings focus on societal creations, local architecture, matchbooks, more than nature as she finds the evidence of people, a white Kentucky fence, a fieldstone wall, makes a landscape infinitely more interesting. Why work with Raendrop Art? My youngest child has battled epilepsy most of his life, with numerous stays in the hospital. Watercolor painting kept me grounded and positive during some scary times and I am so happy to work with Raendrop Art to help provide a creative outlet for these teens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6138bbc98c05a84fa5838119/1b0717d5-a2ae-44fd-a5f0-629dc4bf2ab4/Screen+Shot+2021-09-13+at+3.16.05+PM.png Raendrop Art - WATERCOLOR PAINTING https://www.raendropart.com/classes/phone-photography monthly 0.5 2021-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6138bbc98c05a84fa5838119/1631712229923-5LWV7P7RF3RHMS3TAH3Y/Emily+Babcock.jpg Raendrop Art - PHONE PHOTOGRAPHY - “The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera.”- Yousuf Karsh Photography has always been an exercise in mindfulness and gratitude for me. It gives me a chance to show the world my viewpoint, and helps me capture (and appreciate!) people/places/things in far greater detail, color, and depth. Even though I’m a professional photographer (and have a backpack full of expensive cameras, lenses, and equipment), I find that I use my phone more often than not to capture precious everyday moments. It’s something I always have in my back pocket (literally!) and after all, they say that the best camera is the one that you have with you, right? Well, I am here to help you make your phone photos look like professional photos! Why work with Raendrop Art? The Flints are dear family friends of ours and during Addy’s diagnoses and treatment we used our shared love of photography to process our emotions. Stacey used photography as a visual way to chart, document, and reflect on Addy’s journey. Having seen children and their families in truly dark places, I want to help them not only learn to express themselves through photography, but also bring focus to positive life experiences and help enhance their happiness and self worth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6138bbc98c05a84fa5838119/4b001cb3-82da-444f-9c1a-c4e648c0f4b5/Emily+Babcock+Photography+2.png Raendrop Art - PHONE PHOTOGRAPHY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6138bbc98c05a84fa5838119/621f86df-4273-4101-bb1b-8b620b30d4da/Emily+Babcock+Photography+3.png Raendrop Art - PHONE PHOTOGRAPHY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6138bbc98c05a84fa5838119/123512f7-882b-48c4-b8b0-e433937f28eb/Emily+Babcock+Photography+1.png Raendrop Art - PHONE PHOTOGRAPHY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6138bbc98c05a84fa5838119/966da7d0-11c7-4b59-ab0b-4d1f25732f94/Emily+Babcock+Photography.png Raendrop Art - PHONE PHOTOGRAPHY https://www.raendropart.com/classes/watercolor-brush-lettering monthly 0.5 2022-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6138bbc98c05a84fa5838119/1631714733025-G75J7D9QCMRF0810YZL9/Fritz+Headshot2+copy.jpg Raendrop Art - WATERCOLOR BRUSH LETTERING - Meant To Be Calligraphy My love for calligraphy started early in my life. One of my earliest memories is of my father, who was himself a career hand-lettering artist, teaching me how to draw a perfectly symmetrical capital A. My mother furthered my interest by enrolling me in my first calligraphy class when I was in primary school. And although I started my adult life as a journalist, interviewing celebrities and writing about entertainment, pop culture and food for a national magazine, I happily pushed my computer away and picked up my pen when I launched Meant To Be Calligraphy in 2009. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to provide gorgeous lettering for a host of amazing clients. I spend my days playing with paper and ink and love every minute of it! Why work with Raendrop Art? I love Addy’s mission and vision for this project and I am excited and honored to be part of bringing it to life. - Michele https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6138bbc98c05a84fa5838119/19514009-d362-47e9-95ef-bee24ca94f5d/Fritz+Class3.JPG Raendrop Art - WATERCOLOR BRUSH LETTERING https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6138bbc98c05a84fa5838119/6a55b9a3-b88a-4fa8-9e1a-4d9c8125b55a/Watercolor+Brush+Lettering.JPG Raendrop Art - WATERCOLOR BRUSH LETTERING https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6138bbc98c05a84fa5838119/6873f466-235f-4cce-938a-ca9db1bcbbf4/Calligraphy+1.JPG Raendrop Art - WATERCOLOR BRUSH LETTERING https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6138bbc98c05a84fa5838119/99404a4f-b96a-4314-a87e-dde26d59cc39/Fritz+Class2.JPG Raendrop Art - WATERCOLOR BRUSH LETTERING https://www.raendropart.com/classes/mini-lightsaber monthly 0.5 2022-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6138bbc98c05a84fa5838119/efb4b9b8-fc29-43db-a31e-c9c330b3de65/IMG_3590.jpeg Raendrop Art - MINI LIGHTSABER “Strike me down and I will become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.” – Obi-Wan Kenobi Lightsabers are a crucial tool for anyone saving the galaxy!

Her preferred medium is paper. She enjoys the right angles, they are clean and more predictable. Carrie works under the name Cultured Paper because she enjoys sourcing her products from around the world. Why work with Raendrop Art?

My mother often reminded me that as a little girl, I would sort my blocks first by color and then by shape. I also recall my pediatrician examining my small hands and noticing that my pinky fingers were crooked and bent which I learned was hereditary. She told me not to worry, it means I was artistic. I probably took that to heart. I have always been drawn to abstract art. There is something so calming about looking into a painting and discovering the purpose of each stroke whether purposeful or freestyle. Even when I was taking art lessons, drawing, sketching, painting,…it was my preferred style of art. - Catherine Maxwell McDaniel In this class, Catherine will teach students to create abstract paintings focused on their chosen color ways. Focused on school colors, a favorite football team, or the colors of your bedroom… this is the perfect artwork tailored to you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6138bbc98c05a84fa5838119/18380346-eb8a-441d-a8c5-fed52a9e44eb/Catmaxsamples.jpg Raendrop Art - COLLEGIAL ABSTRACTS https://www.raendropart.com/classes/flower-design monthly 0.5 2023-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6138bbc98c05a84fa5838119/8839bbe4-0dfc-4a98-81f0-39703a6de7c3/Carrie+Pergram Raendrop Art - FLOWER DESIGN - “Maybe it’s not about having a beautiful day, but about finding beautiful moments” - Anna White Carrie Giddins Pergram is a writing professor by day, but a crafter by night. Her preferred medium is paper. She enjoys the right angles, they are clean and more predictable. Carrie works under the name Cultured Paper because she enjoys sourcing her products from around the world. Why work with Raendrop Art? I met Addy at Art on the Avenue in Del Ray this fall, and was impressed by the team she had assembled to spread the word about Raendrop and the spirit she brings to all she does. - Carrie https://www.raendropart.com/classes/inkandwatercolor monthly 0.5 2023-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6138bbc98c05a84fa5838119/f637542b-a6b2-44a9-8bdd-faf6bfba9b27/PXL_20220604_130528444.MP.jpg Raendrop Art - INK AND WATERCOLOR ILLUSTRATION - “Maybe it’s not about having a beautiful day, but about finding beautiful moments” - Anna White An analyst by day and an artist by moonlight (and weekends), Syd Evans started out painting moody, coastal storm-scapes in deep hues, drawing on memories of growing up along the east coast. More recently she has embraced her whimsical side to do ink and watercolor illustrations, resulting in her Tess the Greyhound, Little Monsters, and Balloon Animals series. A portion of her proceeds from illustration series like Tess the Greyhound and Little Monsters support causes Syd cares a lot about, greyhound rescue and mental health resources respectively. The opportunity to work with Raendrop Art came at the perfect moment, when Syd was developing Balloon Animals. She is so excited to have these works and others featured in Raendrop Art boxes. Why work with Raendrop Art? I'm really excited to work with Raendrop Art because I believe wholeheartedly in breaking the stigma around mental health and all health struggles. My Little Monsters series is inspired by mental health disorders and traits. I hope that incorporating my illustrations into the Raendrop Art program makes expressing day to day struggles with mental health, especially in difficult circumstances, a little lighter and a little easier to talk about.
