Naked Wellness $45
Creatively healing the landscape of the body
Illness. Injury. Isolation. Impact. Intimacy. Illustrated.
Though I feel called to share these reflections and what I've learned in the last fourteen years about the discipline it takes to nourish the inner landscape in this modern world; the raw nature of images born on this journey may NOT be something some of my patrons will actually want to see. Rest assured, other than the images in the introductory public post, you won't have to see them if you don't select the support level associated with this content. In this new Reward Tier you should know:

Patron support at this level supports the Art For Arachnoiditis Project website, organic supplies and maintenance of the Creative Wellness Garden, the Belfast Organization for Artists, and expenses for other charitable projects at my studio.

This tier will contain adult content that can only be unlocked at this tier.

Benefits
Patrons subscribed at this level will have exclusive access to one monthly post containing my original visual art (i.e. drawing/painting/photography/collage), and/or written work, research and resources, and any other content which supports this intimate level of the healing process, conceptual journey, and awakenings.

Access to all content posted at lesser payment tiers
As always, the option to unsubscribe at any time

Subscribing patrons get the most art.

This is a link to my blog. Where I write words about the words and more words about the things I am into, learning about, or remembering. It had words before my PatreonPage had my words. Now my words are in both places.
It contains studio stories, special offers, my art and local event news, current projects, and bloggy dialogue about my creative discoveries and wellness projects.

Creativity In Action
Promoting creative unity
BOFA has been established to increase awareness and participation in the Creative Arts in the Belfast, NY Area.

MORE ABOUT BOFA

Here to support and empower Arachnoiditis Survivors during Rehabilitation and Recovery. I help them tell our story, display original healing art by Arachnoiditis Survivors, encourage healing through assorted art activities or creative practices used in ancient and modern art therapy applications, provide methods for arachnoiditis survivors to document survival and adaptation through the arts, establish a venue to publicize arachnoiditis awareness/prevention events using original art by Arachnoiditis Survivors, and do my best to supply credible links to resources for survivors.
