Call Out for Portrait Volunteers

CALL OUT FOR VOLUNTEERS

Hi my lovelies, most of you know what I do and Im looking for some more fabulous disabled people who are wanting to see us represented in the arts.

Im a disabled artist and am looking for disabled people, with chronic health conditions and/or mental ill health, neurodiversity, to work with me on my ongoing art projects.

My aim is to empower disabled people by painting sympathetic portraits of us mainly in watercolour.

My method of doing this is by sharing disabled people's stories in their own words as 1. I dont think disabled people are listened to enough as it is and 2. There’s nothing better than hearing first hand experiences from people.

The categories I have, are Mens Health, Women's Health, Non-Binary Health, Mental Health and Scars and All

I am looking for people who will provide me with photographs of themselves in which they appear quirky, pretty. Intelligent, mysterious, whatever suits your personality, who are willing to share their stories about themselves in less than 350 words.

I would retain ownership of the painting and would share the painting and your stories online across social media and in real life at any exhibitions that I may be offered.

Paintings that are sold: 10% of the payment I receive for the painting is given to the person who the portrait is of, or, if you wish to buy your portrait, you get a 10% reduction.

Prints are available with no reduction.

Looking forward to meeting some wonderful new volunteers. Please Dm for more info and if wishing to partake

A Massive thank you to all my previous wonderful collaborators.
