I am re-writing this post to reframe/ clarify that I am seeking to be found by the right person. The person who can support me as a working artist. What this means is I am seeking a matron/patron as I have written before.
Not a common search to be sure yet, I do not seek what might be commonly found. Commonly found or accepted such as people who buy the good art that is in the marketplace, as opposed to someone who would gain pleasure from supporting the progress of one. One whose work pro-actively participates in the world's healing process!
My painting reflects strength out of which comes sincerity about what I see. Perhaps reflections of my own lifelong healing process, and thus a body of work reflective of intimacy that can only most effectively be communicated without words.
The one who "would want me" is of a weave who knows them-self gaining in equal pleasure supporting the progress of another. A sincere happiness to the self that does not frighten the one who makes such commitments. A commitment that happens in recognition for work that beautifies the world in such a way as to solicit peaceful respite. A pause in recognition to consciously connect to what is inherently possible in each one who recognizes truth. Possibility inherent in each one, even as this recognition is sometimes journeyed to through many challenges. The mystery of healing this unlearning attachment and aversion. That healing is a unique process found in the rhythms occurring as in a symphony, or visually as in a tapestry or painting woven or painted right before one's eyes_ a unique process occurring each in one's own time. One's own rhythm! To be true to that, is to experience delicious risk. The risks that leads to one's own courage. In that place when consciously guided, is found one's own solidity. But I run up the path a bit quickly, when matronage/patronage is the subject here. To experience adequate support is to spread the capacity to share non-verbal seeds of healing more widely. Come forward now. It is a good time to show up.
At the core of my unique working/creating path can be found strength, articulation, persistence. A working project proposal of which the universality in my own journey can be found here.
This particular project would also be a good point of contact for those who may only want a more finite experience in supporting the working life of an artist's productivity. Contact me about it. Let's talk.
If, on the other hand you are reading this and know (of) someone who is this dear longterm supporter yet, who may not be particularly computer oriented, tell them about this site. We may both be looking for each other. Help them take a look.
Thank-you.
