CAD 7/moEssentials Tier: Self-Care SupportWhat this means to me: As an artist living with disabilities, building and maintaining my physical strength isn't optional — it's how I keep making art. I aim to get to the gym/aquatic centre 4 times a week for physio and strength training, and it adds up. Having that financial pressure lifted is a genuine gift, and a direct contribution to my ongoing ability to create.Who this tier is for: You don't have a ton of cash to spare, and that's completely okay — you just want to show up and support the work. Consider this my anticapitalist approach: you're not penalized for joining at the lowest tier. You get full access to everything on my Patreon. If you've got more to share, amazing — jump to a higher tier. Same great content, just more support for me. 🙏
CAD 14/moFriend Tier: Meal SupportWhat this means to me: Treat me to my favourite fancy coffee drink & a snack, or a light lunch! As someone living with chronic pain, having access to prepared food is genuinely life-changing — especially on the high pain days when cooking is simply not an option. Every prepared meal is time and energy I get to spend in my studio instead.Who this tier is for: You're the kind of person who'd like to treat me and chill together over a coffee and chat. You want to support the work in a real, tangible way without it being a huge ask. I love that about you. You'll get full access to everything on my Patreon — Patron-only blogs, videos, Q&A submissions, and more.
CAD 30/moAlly Tier: Commuter SupportWhat this means to me: It costs me $30 in gas to make the one-hour drive to my studio and back — and this is where my kiln lives. Without access to it, I simply can't do lost-wax casting, which is central to my practice. Every time you cover this tier, you're literally getting me to the studio and making the work possible.Who this tier is for: You can afford a little more than a gym trip, but you're not super flush — and you're choosing to spend it here. That means a lot. Thank you for sharing what you have to support this work and journey with me.Just like every other tier, you'll get full access to everything on my Patreon — Patron-only blogs, videos, Q&A submissions, and more. Got a little extra to spare? Feel free to jump to a higher tier — same great content, just more support for me.
CAD 50/moContributor Tier: Business EssentialsWhat this means to me: Running a small business comes with a huge amount of admin and marketing — and for someone with limited time and energy due to chronic pain, that overhead is especially costly. I work with two virtual assistants and a bookkeeper so I can protect the hours I have for the creative work only I can do: designing and hand-crafting jewelry. This tier helps cover a couple of hours of that essential support each month.Who this tier is for: You're serious about supporting me to make art, and you understand how precious time and energy are — especially for someone living with chronic pain and disability. You have a little extra and you want to share it with someone doing work that matters to you. That generosity means more than I can say.You'll get full access to everything on my Patreon — Patron-only blogs, videos, Q&A submissions, and more.
CAD 80/moAssociate Tier: Fine SilverWhat this means to me: Silver is an essential and versatile metal in my studio. As of early 2026, $80 CAD covers approximately 56 grams — nearly two troy ounces — of fine silver. That's enough to cast substantial, heavy pieces or run several experimental rings in a single session. As a goldsmith living with a severe spinal injury, having materials ready and waiting when my energy is high isn't a luxury. It's what makes the work happen.Who this tier is for: You want to contribute to my art in a tangible, material way — and this tier does exactly that. Your support puts real metal on my bench and keeps the kiln running. You're not just funding an artist; you're helping bring specific, physical objects into the world.You'll get full access to everything on my Patreon — Patron-only blogs, videos, Q&A submissions, and more.
CAD 125/moAdvocate Tier: Healthcare SupportWhat this means to me: This covers one of my 45-minute physiotherapy sessions — ideally I'd have treatment every week. Believe it or not, goldsmithing is a surprisingly physical job, and after sustaining a serious spinal injury in 2010, regular physio isn't optional for me. Without it, I honestly couldn't function, let alone make jewelry.Who this tier is for and what you get: You know how expensive medical care can be, and you want to help me give my body what it actually needs. You've got enough to go around and you want to make a difference in a real, tangible way. A contribution at this level supports not just my art — it genuinely improves my quality of daily life. That's an incredible thing to do for another person. Thank you.You'll get full access to everything on my Patreon — Patron-only blogs, videos, Q&A submissions, and more.
CAD 240/moAncestor Tier: One Gram of GoldWhat this means to me: Gold is precious. As of February 2026, $240 CAD is the price of one gram of gold — so think of yourself as gifting me 1g of pure gold each month. This metal calls to me with the voices and traditions of my ancestors, and it is a privilege to answer that call through my craft. I work exclusively with recycled gold, because reducing the human cost of art is central to my values and my practice.Who this tier is for and what you get: You are moved by the deeper meaning of this work and want to sustain it in the most direct, material way possible. By funding the gold itself, you are providing the literal foundation for an ancestral-led craft — and that is no small thing.You'll get full access to everything on my Patreon — Patron-only blogs, videos, Q&A submissions, and more.
CAD 385/moChampion Tier: Studio SupportWhat this means to me: Help me pay my studio rent for the month and secure me space to create with freedom from worry about how I'm going to cover the cost. I literally cannot do business without this. Like, AT ALL. Studio rent is a big expense for me, so you joining this tier, even for just one month... well, it is frankly incredible.Bless your heart. ❤️Who this tier is for and what you get: You have the privilege of financial security and want to share that blessing with others. You understand that when an artist has a safe, stable space to create, the work that comes out of it belongs to everyone — and you want to be part of making that possible.You'll get full access to everything on my Patreon — Patron-only blogs, videos, Q&A submissions, and more.
