A New Beginning: Support the Legere Fine Art Services Studio Launch

Opening December 2025 at 333 East Broadway, Vancouver

This year has been one of the most meaningful and transformative chapters of my life. Between welcoming my daughter, the loss of my mother, and building a new creative vision, I have poured everything I have into creating something special. There have been tough times and sad moments, yet happiness and so much love have filled my days through it all. The strength and encouragement from my wife has been a constant support, and my mom always encouraged me to keep moving forward. Those reminders have carried me through this entire journey.

Legere Fine Art Services brings custom picture framing and photography together in a single studio with a clear path for future growth. My long term vision is to create a space that will support other artists, expand into community focused services, and evolve naturally as the business develops. It is created for anyone who appreciates craftsmanship, creativity, and care.

After six years managing a professional framing studio, over two decades behind the camera, and formal studies in both photography and business, I am finally opening my own dedicated space. It will be a home for custom picture framing, photography, and creative services in the heart of Mount Pleasant.

This studio represents a step forward. It is a way to grow through a year of change and to focus on the future with purpose and optimism. Opening a new business comes with significant upfront costs. Now that the lease has taken effect and the space is being carefully prepared, the major equipment, materials, and setup expenses are arriving at the same time. I’m reaching out to those who believe in me and in the vision behind this studio.

Why I’m Raising Funds

I am seeking to raise $10,000 to help cover the essential costs of opening the studio in early December and to ease the early operating expenses as we move into the new year.

These funds will support:

Final equipment purchases
Studio setup, layout, and workstations
Internet, utilities, and security installation
Opening months operating support
Import and delivery costs for incoming professional equipment
Initial stock of materials for early client projects

Your support will help me open the doors smoothly and start serving clients with confidence from day one.

What Your Support Means

Your support reaches far beyond financial help. It is an expression of trust, belief, and encouragement at a moment when it matters most. It brings energy to this new beginning and plays a real part in shaping a space built with intention, care, and craft.

Your generosity helps me open the doors with confidence, serve clients with the quality they deserve from the very first day, and create a studio that welcomes artists, families, and the community with warmth and purpose.

This studio is the start of a new chapter for my family and my work, something I have been building toward for many years. I am deeply grateful for everyone who chooses to stand with me as this vision becomes real. Thank you for being part of it.
