Hello Friends!
I have some exciting news…the universe has aligned for me to travel again in the name of art. At the end of this month, I will be traveling back to Europe for the first time in 10 years!!! The last time I was there was as a graduate student at SFAI. I can’t believe time has passed by so quickly, but here we are.
Thanks to my best artist bud, Erik Richard Parra, I will be visiting Amsterdam for the very first time to see the Vermeer show and I can’t wait! But, before I arrive there, I will be reunited with my long-time collaborator, Liv Fontaine, in England, to produce new work and who knows what kind of (good) trouble. Then later in the summer, I have been invited to Italy to further my studies on herbalism and once again be in the company of the most amazing Sarah Wu, whom I first had the pleasure of working with in Costa Rica (2022).
As I plan for these upcoming trips, I am trying to stay optimistic that things will work out, but I also have to face the realization that I don’t have the means to do everything that I want to do right now. The opportunities for an artist like myself in Central New York, have been limited, but I would love to be able to utilize these upcoming opportunities and make the most of them. I mean it’s been 10 years since I last visited this continent, so these upcoming short trips are long overdue.
So, let me help you, by you helping me.
I would like to offer you all the possibility to support my practice in exchange for a token of your gratitude I will gift you a new art piece created from my trip.
–For a contribution of $75: I will mail you something from my travels.
–For a contribution of $150: I will mail you a small print series (2-3 images) from the photographs I take during my travels.
–For a contribution of $225: I will mail you an 8 x 10 inches print from the work that I produce with Liv.
–With any contribution over $225: I will mail you a set of small art works created by me on my travels.
I have also made available some artwork, prints, and other affordable merchandise on my website that I can ship to you, or if you live close we can set up a delivery. This work of mine is just sitting in boxes, stagnant, when they were made to be worn or admired on a wall. If you see something that catches your eye let me know. Payment can be submitted via Paypal: paypal.me/TinaDillman, Venmo: @Tina-Dillman-1, or you can send a check–my mailing address is located in the footer of this email.
Thank you! Your support is always much appreciated!
Live-Long-Love-Artists!!!
XXO,
Tina
