Patron by Eliza Wierwight
Patron (SLurl) in the personal project of Eliza Wierwight, a beautiful place to visit, a mix of an art gallery, a furniture store and something else.
Not only the place is beautiful, moreover it has personality, surely the personality of Eliza. Personally i really like Eliza, she is a really interesting woman, creative, and with a wicked sense of humour (yes, and beautiful).
Some time ago Eliza asked me to participate in a show in Patron, with no special theme, just the pictures i like the best of my own. Since i don’t use to sell my images, except for good reasons, we decided to give 100% of the sales to Amnesty International-E to help them in their projects.
She must be quite proud, since right now Patron is in the SL Showcase (as The Patron in the Arts section). And Patron deserves that for sure.
I wanted to ask Eliza about what’s Patron for her, she said:
Patron is my creative heart and home Inworld after finally settling into my own design style. It’s the environment I HAD to create , it’s the build I HAD to endure as my insatiable desire to express myself in my own time , on my own terms, evolved. Patron found it’s own momentum unraveled beautifully before me almost instinctively. To keep that momentum over 5 months was exhausting , I don’t regret a single minute though.
One thing I’ve learned about creation Inworld in the last year thanks to the experience of creating Patron and her surrounding enviroment and contents, is to stay true to yourself, your passions. Patron is Eliza, Eliza is Patron. So many stories, people , friends, lovers , revelations and histories of mine all united.
If I’ve learned anything of the experience and the joy I’ve had in sharing her and including the Art and creations of the smexy talented people whose creations & Art that I’m honored also to represent at Patron, is to never deviate from your own dreams. Patron continues to evolve, I never want to see her stuck in a time warp of ambivalence. I want her to reflect my personal best as I continue to learn and grow as a Creator. When I find time to sit back, when I see Patron and especially the contributing works of those I respect and adore gracing her, I just kind of resonate with charmingly smug happiness and guess what, it’s contagious ~winks~
The end !

You two make a good pairing – you’re both artists in your own right and terrific people.
Hmmn Mr Crimson ~smilesssssssss~
What the illustrious Mr Crimson isn’t fully aware of was how damn thrilled I was just to have his permission to share his work in any format. Before that sounds like a massive suck up let me ensure you it’s not. I remember a specific piece by Raul that resonated so deeply to me that I purred and on mentioning it Raul gifted me a copy. I went on to build ‘The Cinnabar Room’ based on that piece. Then about 6 months later and coming to that point of recognition that Patron as it existed need to be torn down and started from the ground up Raul gave me free range to include his art. I had this ever growing studio space, mega prim after mega prim thrown down as I built and had large copies of Raul’s work contained within that pandemonium while I did so. Amazing the potential influence and muse we can have on each other. Not entirely sure Mr Crimson gets that fact yet. What he does get however is my eternal vow to have his prim babies with very little if no notice whatsoever.
As to Amnesty, brilliant cause and thank Heaven’s I’m allowed to sell Raul’s work at Patron now. Patron guests seriously want to acquire it. It’s kind of delicious that they can, further enhanced seeing 100% proceeds immediately go to Amnesty. Bravo I say Bravo.
As for Miss Honours comments above. There’s a point of commonality between Raul , myself & Honour ( I KNOW her work and love it ) not one of us will cede the title ‘Artist’ with any level of comfort. Interesting huh ……… ( Raul she is as bad as you are that way ~laughs~)
Is delighted to be in such great presense as Eliza and Raul. Great collaborations here and with all the artists of Patron. It’s a gallery with not only art on the walls, but the walls themselves ooze Artistic endeavors of granduer!
@ Honour: Thanks!!! Well, is a pleasure to work with Eliza, you know her enough. *smiles*
@ Eliza: /me blushes (you know i REALLY blush, hahaha).
@ Stephen: I totally agree, Patron is a great work itself, owned by a delightful woman.
I need to check but off the top of my head I think at least L$14,000 has gone to Amnesty International directly since we started offering you art for sale at Patron Mr Crimson. “Faces of Love ” seems to be VERY popular, then again , why wouldn’t it. It’s exquisite in sentiment and execution.
