Why I’m Painting for 24 Hours Straight on July 24th

Monday 13th Jul

On July 24th, Samaritans marks its annual 24/7 Awareness Day. It’s a vital reminder that their life-saving helpline is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for anyone who needs a safe, non-judgmental place to turn.

This cause matters deeply to me. To help keep those lines open, I’ve decided to put my passion and my schedule to the ultimate test by hosting a 24-Hour Painting Marathon live on TikTok over 3 days. 

I’ll be at my easel for 24 hours staggered over 3 shifts due to work commitments, battling creative blocks and exhaustion to raise funds for Samaritans. But I won't be doing it alone—I need your help, your energy, and your creativity to get me through the night!

What the Live Stream Will Feature

This isn't just me silently painting in a corner; I’ve planned a fully interactive 24-hour event to keep things exciting:

🎨Viewer Color Requests: Want to see me paint a landscape using only neon pink and midnight blue? You call the shots on the palette.

🖊️Donor Customizations: For those who donate, I will personally add your requested images, elements, or text directly onto the canvas I'm working on.

🎟️Art Raffles: Every donation enters you into a raffle to win one of the finished paintings created during the 24-hour marathon.

🖼️Intuitive Painting & Guided Sessions: I’ll be diving into intuitive, free-flowing painting. Even better? I want you to join me! Grab your own art supplies, canvases, or sketchbooks, and we can paint together during our guided community sessions.

Before the big day, feel free to scroll to the bottom of this page to my gallery to check out some of my previous artwork and get a feel for my style!

How You Can Support

Every bit raised helps Samaritans answer another life-saving call. If you want to help me stay awake and support this incredible charity, here is how you can join in:

1. Watch & Interact: Tune into my TikTok Live on July 21st & July 24th to keep me company (especially during the midnight zombie hours!).

2. Donate: Tap the link in my bio to donate directly to my Samaritans fundraising page.

This cause matters deeply to me – and I’d be so grateful if you could be part of it. Let’s create some art, stay awake, and raise money for a cause that saves lives every single day. See you on the 24th!
