• 📮💌 mail tiers $10 + $15 will resume November (11/2025)! ***
  this is when I'll be back from my travels & will have mail goods restocked. I'll make a preview post for the mail likely around september, to give time to new interested patrons to sign up.
  *in the meantime, please feel free to move tiers or pause your subscription as you like! never any pressure to stay 🙏

• 📼 I'm aiming for the next monthly painting video to be up between July 20~~26!
  I'm getting ready for some traveling but getting through my editting to-do list.. hoping to get some more done on the ✈️ thanks for your patience!

• Since I paused reccurring billing on july 1st, and then unpaused it today- current patrons will not be charged for membership renewals until billing resumes on August 1. you got a month on me! consider trying out one of the new tiers to get more out of your benefits during this time. I will be keeping up the activity for most of the tiers except for the mail tier* as stated above, please be aware & do whatever you need to do 🙏
  I will start posting for the new tier immediately & slots for the new art collector tiers are also open immediately (more info about those below)

• 🎁 colllector tier member slots are open until they are filled & first polls & mail out will begin August, or as members join thereafter
  *please note, I am unable to fulfill it for the month of july due to traveling ✈️ thanks for your patience!

✨NEW tier structure & offerings!✨

you may have noticed there's new tier images & new tiers on the membership page! I will share more information about them here, I added a few new options to try something new moving forward
----------

$2~$5 🌻 general support tiers
(these are staying relatively the same)

a wellwishing friend ($2)

a warm cup of a coffee ($5)

🌼 These tiers offer:
➡️ 1 monthly painting video & write up released
➡️ access to tier's archive


$10 💌 happy mail buddy
(this one is also staying the same!)
🌼 This tier offers:
➡️ receive monthly postcard & sticker in the mail
➡️ a birthday card on your birth month
➡️ + previous tiers access



⭐ $15 👀💛 proof of a friendly world

🌼 This tier offers:
➡️ weekly posts (2 minimum per week) sharing what I'm working on in the studio day to day & presently
➡️ see everything before everyone else does, see the beginnings of art pieces & even bits that maybe don't end up being in the monthly video/write up post queue
➡️ receive this tier's & previous tiers' archive + the monthly physical mail
(*you may also opt out if you do not want physical goods)
➡️ a bit more engagement, commenting ability, periodic Q&A, surveys & polls

✨ for this new tier, I am tackling something I have always struggled with- posting more frequently...!!
I will post specifically for this tier 2 times (minimum) a week to show what I'm working on in the studio and where my current projects are at. I normally post finished paintings/videos months after they are completed in below tiers due to editing/production/packaging time so this tier will see much more in progress work that I am working on presently and not posting anywhere else. you will see anything from daily bits of large painting progress, small paintings progress, personal journal or sketchbook drawings, ceramics/pottery works, brainstorming/idea scribbles, progress on works made for exhibitions, goods, commissions, etc. it will be like you came to visit an open studio session!

this tier really tells me "hey! I really like your art, please stop hiding!" 💐
(つω⊂ ) ᴵ ᵃᵐ ˢᵒʳʳʸ ᴵ'ᵐ ˢᵒ ᶠᵉᵃʳᶠᵘˡ..
and it's a great option for those who in addition to wanting to support me; want to see a feed with more activity, what I am up to week to week as an artist, see how current paintings are progressing- & in general, for people who are curious to follow my journey more closely and get closer to real time updates.
the patrons of this tier will also receive the monthly mail!
(*or you can opt out if you are not interested in physical goods)
as a bonus, I'd also like to try my best to engage these members more with commenting ability, periodic questionnaires, surveys & polls.

🌼 🌼 🌼 🌼 🌼 🌼 🌼

⭐ $80 + $120 🖼️ ✨art collector tiers

(polls & mail outs will begin August, or as members join thereafter.)

for a limited amount of patrons who would like to support me this way, they will receive a unique physical original small piece of art for the time they are part of this tier!

at the end of each month, I will mail out the piece to the patrons of this tier & create a poll for them to choose a theme for me to work within for the next month

$80 🖼️ ✨art collector (style 1)
(4 limited slots per month)

🌼 This tier offers:
➡️ receive a unique original piece I make for you on paper, usually within the size of 4x6~5x7in carefully packed and shipped to you 📮 mediums will vary depending on the theme of the month, but likely limited to gouache, watercolors, acrylics, inks, pencils, etc
➡️ receive all previous access & happy mail (unless opted out)
➡️ special voting power for monthly themes for the collector tiers

$120 🖼️ ✨art collector (style 2)
(3 limited slots per month)

🌼 This tier offers:
➡️ receive a unique original painting I make for you on a small wood panel or canvas, usually within the size of 6x6in ~ 8x10in with all the texture and brushwork there, carefully packed and shipped to you 📮 mediums will vary depending on the theme of the month, but likely for this tier, be similar to my large gallery works- I'll play happily with oil & oil mediums, texture pastes & varnish & make something delightful for you to enjoy.
➡️ receive all previous access + happy mail (unless opted out)
➡️ special voting power for monthly themes for the collector tiers

✿ NOTE:
I usually sell my original paintings for $160+ at gallery exhibitions, so if you are part of this tier - you will be receiving something original & physical directly before anyone else gets to see it! this also helps encourage me to produce smaller works that are separate from my large series paintings more regularly. so on top of getting something special in your hands, you are also helping me build my output capacity as a painter 💛

thank you very much for reading this far if you did!
these new tiers are a great help for me financially so that I really can focus all my time on creating and sharing art!
please know that I so appreciate whatever you're able to contribute as support, I know that subscription fatigue is real, so there is never any pressure to stay in one tier for longer than you would like! 🙏
my dream is to be able to live simply through various streams of income that come from my art, patreon being one of them- and to continue to create works that bring people delight.
I hope that these new support options give a fun variety for you to move between when you feel like it.

thanks for being here
🌼
all my love
