I am a physically disabled experimental artist who uses a power wheelchair. I am hiring a reliable, patient, hands-on assistant to support me in my studio three evenings per week.
This is not a collaborative art role. I am not looking for artistic opinions, aesthetic suggestions, or creative input. I am looking for someone who can follow detailed verbal instruction, retain processes, and act as precise physical support for my work.

WHO IS A GOOD FIT
Calm, patient, precise, and highly reliable
Comfortable with hands-on physical work and variable pacing

IMPORTANT
Some shifts may include downtime. Other shifts may be nonstop. Part of the job is being available, attentive, and ready the moment I need help. At times I may need you to step in briefly; at other times I may need sustained help with setup, holding, masking, cutting, printing, or equipment handling.
This role is about precision, patience, consistency, and physical facilitation. It is not about helping shape the art creatively.
