I had the bad habit of keeping my art in the closet and stacking pieces up out of the way so I could make room for new pieces. Neither organising nor archiving, and certainly not marketing, were part of my skill-set. I just cared about making art. Showing my work made me feel shy and exposed. Enquiries about purchasing my work would always take me aback, as that was not the primary reason I had made the work. In recent years, as my energy has dwindled, I have found that this is more true than before. Making the work is a privilege. Sharing the work is an honour.
I live in Quebec, where I used to teach English as a Second Language to francophones. Our local MS society is a proponent of many of the evidence and science based approaches put forward by Dr Jelinek. Unfortunately, the language barrier means that many of my compatriots are not familiar with all of the OMS resources. I'll do the best I can locally!
This link will take you to the shop Redbubble has created for me. All 12 of my OMS flower images are on sale here and 80% of the profits will be used to encourage the lifestyle changes as implemented by the OMS programme either internationally or locally.
