A peek at "Firebird" - available on my Patreon!

"Firebird" is a painting I created in 2018 in watercolor, acrylic, and acryla gouache. I created a full process video for my Patreon patrons, and this is just a little preview!

My Patreon is my little corner of the internet! I'm among those who are marginally able to make art their full time profession, but only with the support from my incredible fanbase. Over the years, I've been able to build up a large social media following by sharing every step of my journey as a full time artist, from showing works-in-progress, creating tutorial videos, sharing behind-the-scenes struggles and triumphs, providing tips and tricks to aspiring artists, giving away original art and special prizes, and of course, taking everyone along on the journey that is my art career.

With the introduction of eeeeevil, small-business crushing algorithms on Facebook and Instagram, it has become harder than ever to reach my wonderful community of supporters. This is why I have maintained a Patreon account since 2017, so that I can continue to cultivate this community, share my personal experiences, and reach those interested in my work in a more effective way. At times, Patreon has been my only source of stable income, and while these internet platforms are ultimately controlled by those who probably don't have my best interests in mind, Patreon has given me a wonderful way to connect with my community.

I consider my Patrons to be my biggest fans and I'm so grateful for those that believe in me and my work enough to support me here! Please have a look at the available tiers and their corresponding perks below. You can change or cancel your subscription at any time. If now isn't the right time for you to support my work monetarily, please subscribe to the public updates!
