I know how lucky I am to have so many people who support my practice and collect my work… and also that I get to make art for a living.
This is my way of saying ‘thanks’ to the people who support my practice & collect my work
Patreon is a web platform created for artists of all kinds who can use it to create their own supporter communities. It is a kind of patron program that doesn’t require a massive investment from one individual, but rather a series of small regular instalments from a group of people who want to show their support for an artists work.
I have created four tiers of ‘membership’ to enable people to contribute $8 per month, right through to $64 per month.
This ongoing support helps me smooth out my spiky cashflow and keep working constantly, regardless of when paintings are sold (which is entirely unpredictable).
In return for the generous support of those who like what I do and / or collect my work, I offer a suite of benefits to say ‘thank you’. Depending on the level of membership, you might receive:
- Exclusive content not available elsewhere: this could be process videos & photos, a look at works in progress, painting demos or even footage from en plein air trips when I go away to work
- First look at new work: Before I post work to instagram, I’ll be posting it over on Patreon for my supporters to see first
- Discount voucher codes to use on purchasing work: Depending on your membership level, you’ll receive up to 15% off any purchase you make direct from my studio
