Help Support Mollie Chounard’s Kickstarter Program

I’m Mollie Chounard, a Surreal and Fantasy painter from St. Louis, Missouri. Normally I’d be traveling around the country selling my artwork at art fairs, but the Coronavirus had other plans. During quarantine I became aware that the United States Postal Service was in jeopardy, and that really shook me because it is such a critical and vibrant part of our communities and country. The United States Postal Service is crucial not just because it delivers to every house in the country, or because it offers affordable rates to small business owners like me, but because it has been there through all the stages of our lives from letters to Santa and pen pals, to wedding and baby shower invitations. It  has been there right alongside us, every step of the way making our lives easier behind the scenes. “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers  from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” — Charles W. Eliot. These couriers are the unsung heroes right now!

So I decided to create a campaign that celebrates the Postal Service by offering postcards and prints of my work that you can’t get anywhere else. Postcards are great because you can frame them as art or mail them to friends and family – and that’s a great way to boost the USPS bottom line! The postcard that I’ll send to the White House was painted specially for this project!

So, whether you’d like to support me or you’re passionate about saving the USPS your pledge will be greatly appreciated!
