Patrons
Be part of what I make next.
Books, music, films, paintings and performances. My work takes many forms, and each opens another door. Patronage gives me the time, collaborators and resources to bring that work into the world.
I invite you to become part of my creative family.
Why patronage
Room to create. Freedom to go further.
I have built my life around making things. Some begin with a song, some with a character, a painting or a question I cannot leave alone. They grow into books, records, films and conversations that reach beyond the studio.
Patronage gives this work continuity. It makes room to follow an idea, pay the people who help bring it to life and carry it through to an audience. Your support becomes part of that process.
The work
One creative life. Many forms.
