It takes a lot of work to support oneself as an artist in today's society, or in any day and age for that matter. Years ago, back in Renaissance Italy, there were a few families that served as patrons for the most esteemed artists across the country and in Europe. In today's world we have more people, so much talent, and overall it can be argued that money is more widespread, hence the surfacing of smaller digital patron platforms and spaces. I am currently looking for donations, funding, angel investors, etc. , so that I am able to continue my art practice, produce mixed media pieces, documentary projects, art films, have the means to apply to art shows, portfolio reviews, fairs, in order to move my career forward, taking my work to the next level. If you have any interest in helping to support my work, please feel free to email me at elsamariekeefe@gmail.com Even if you're able to donate just $5 a month, this still goes a long way and helps immensely. If you'd like to contribute and also receive access to much of my portfolio along with personal stories, please visit my Patreon page or Substack page. In addition to these pages you can support my art by a financial contribution of any amount via zelle, venmo, paypal etc. All of my payment accounts can be accessed with my email: elsamariekeefe@gmail.com. As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Thank you all so much for your support. Thank you so much for your time and consideration, Elsa
