Mountain Filled 2 Projects Mountain Filled 2 Projects

Aloha! My name is Rose Adare, I’m an evocative artist disabled by a muni train in 2005. To get through the hard times, I began painting truly inspiring, brilliant, out of the box people, and now I have solid offers for shows guaranteed in Oakland, San Francisco, Seattle, AND Brooklyn, NY! But I need your help to get there! 

I’m not asking for plane tickets or hotels. I’ll sleep on couches and eat ramen. But I need help with shipping and production costs.

I’ve had three amazing shows already, at the Hawaii Museum of Contemporary Art The J+ Gallery in Holualoa, and the prestigious Maui Arts & Cultural Center's Schaefer Portrait Gallery, but now it’s time to reach the mainland.

Hawai'i is 75 miles across and is 2,467 miles from California.  That's a long distance to move 31 paintings, 5 plexiglass shadowboxes, and 35 plexiglass descriptions—especially when some of the paintings are 10 x 7 feet! The powerful success behind Restraint & Revolution “took a village,” and now it’ll “take a continent” to move across the ocean.  

I paint people—dynamic, fascinating, multicultural role models changing the world through art, music, and social activism. As an educational art tour, Restraint & Revolution shares their biographies with their portraits to begin a conversation with the audience—a conversation about social taboo’s in the 21st century. Sex. Gender. Age. Body Image. Disability. Free Expression. Spiritual Identity. What does it mean to challenge social norms, today? Each mind-blowing model in Restraint & Revolution wears a form of corsetry as a symbol of social restraint and personal revolution.

Some of my 40 inspirational models include:

  • Queer sexologist, Carol Queen.
  • Native American advocate & Academy Award winning folk legend,       Buffy Sainte-Marie
  • One of America’s leading GLBTQ public speakers, Kimberly Dark.
  • Olympic Medalist & Motivational Speaker, Annetta Lucero
  • Body-Mod artist & Guinness World Record holder, Kala Kaiwi
  • Epic Burning Man sculptor & founder of American Steel, Karen Cusolito
  • Whirling Dervish and founder of Velocity Circus, Gregangelo.
  • Astounding visual makeup couture, Devin Mohr
  • Choreographer & Stanford's Artistic Director of Black Performing Arts, Robert Moses. 
  • Actress and Olympic Medalist, Dreya Weber 
  • Culinary Chef & Food body Artist, Tiberio Simone 
  • Sister of Perpetual Indulgence, Sister Eve Volution
  • Genderqueer adult performer, Jiz Lee
  • And Iconic Singer-Song Writer, Jason Webley

Likewise, just as corsetry evolved from chaste undergarments to scandalous lingerie, Restraint & Revolution reclaims classical portraiture as a new form of evocative art. As an art series, Restraint & Revolution pushes the boundaries of classical and contemporary art by uniting traditional mediums with wild diversity. Portraits you would never see in a museum before, are finally making their entrance.  

 


STRETCH GOAL is $7,550! Only $2000 more!

Help me get these amazing paintings to New York!

I’ve been offered a 2500sq gallery for a month in Brooklyn, with an opening, mid-point event and closing show! This will give me time to court other museums and galleries in New York. AND I will be painting through-out, so people can come and watch me. So New Yorkers, get me to the Big Apple!!!!  I'll even paint one of your own and unveil them at the closing show!!!

  • $1500 for round trip shipping from California, to New York, back to California.
  • $250 for promotional materials for all 3 events in NY.
  • $300 food for 3 events in NY.


My first goal was achieved! Restraint & Revolution from Hawaii, to Oakland, to San Francisco; will fund and promote three events at American Steel Studios, The Academy of Art University, and the San Francisco Center for Sex & Culture; and initial storage.  

  • $750 for packing supplies & to build 2 more shipping crates (5x4x4ft) I have 5 crates already built & paid for! FYI materials in Hawai'i are pricy.
  • $1500 to ship door to door from Hawai’i to Oakland, CA.
  • $1000 for show costs, including fuel (fire performers/flaming sculptures) + permits + security, for all 3 events. 
  • $750 for promotional materials for all 3 events.
  • $500 to transport paintings to each event, including U-haul rental for 3 days + plus gas + help lifting crates.  
  • $1000 Food & Beverages for all 3 events.

Total $5500, for three amazing art shows in California, spreading the message of 40 inspiring people working hard to improve our world.
