Ciao beautiful Art. friends and Creators,

I'd love to know more about how you all present yourselves and your Art. online? Please #introduceyourself to our community by posting about your creative endeavours!

As an Art creator, I've had to make so many changes in my career to my online 'identity', and never more so than in the past few years, as dwindling support, resources and visibility meant being much more succinct about what I share online.

I also had a lot of realisation about identity in recent years; our true identity, and how we have to be care-full in how we present what we 'are' online in particular - digital 'identity' is a big threat to our freedom, health and wellbeing.

I use Patreon as a means of having a regular wage as an artist: it used to be much busier there, but when I talked openly about real health and about the medicalisation-of-life agenda that was unrolling during the plandemic, more than half of my audience cut me off.

This initially was a huge shock to my system, and I had to adjust significantly what I was spending, consuming and expecting from culture and community. That was all positive, ultimately. It brought me much closer to the land and the elements, and helped me slow down and centre myself infinitely more!

Stripping life back to the bare bones was a beautiful process.

So I'm sharing below, an updated version of my introduction on Patreon, also as a means of re-introducing myself here on our Hive Art. Community

Much love to you today in your creative adventures, and thank you for tuning in!

Welcome!

I Am Clare. Gaia Sophia

Your gift here on Patreon supports my LifeWork

My monthly Patreon income is my vital wage: it empowers me to create a happy healthy life in Gift, aligned with Natural Law.

This income supports my life-purpose - bringing Truth, Colour, Depth, Meaning and Healing to humanity, as we walk away from servitude - and rise up into our right-full inheritance of harmonious wellbeing living abundantly.

My work has been heavily censored and shadow-banned in all my decades of working openly honestly and innocently to express that which I Am and which We Are: this has made it very challenging to be visible as a visual artist and visionary speaker.

However, in holy metaphor for Life, this has ultimately created the most nourishing growth conditions for my work-health-life! I passionately continue to share Truth, mentor, connect and co-create, with vibrant expanding communities in the decentralised Main Stream (i.e. non-mainstream): find all my links via Linktree.

My current goals which I am using my Patreon for:

long term

acquiring land with a smaller house on it, to be more fully autonomous - in or near a much more like-minded community

medium term

setting up volunteer opportunities and creative-healing residencies here in Guardia Sanframondi; bringing groups here to have thriving community immersion

short term

transforming the Arthouse to natural energy: installing the waterheater on the stove, creating optimum positioning for solar panels, investing in more solar panels, creating a water collection system, optimising the stove for cooking on/ in
correcting my tech: investing in a new Linux laptop and phone from the Pine64 folk
speaking to Sergio's family about the possibilties of keeping his dreams alive, via his house and garden here (which I currently guardian)
