Goddess KRING t shirt and Collage will be at Folklife Festival Seattle 2025

 

Here's my new Goddess Kring t-shirt and the collage I made printed onto canvas that got into the folklife festival in seattle may 23-26th 2025. I was also with my art car for a paid party event but I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement so I can't really share photos. I'm waiting to hear if I can share photos later on in the future. it was a private party for a company and they booked me and another Art Car person for a special event... it was really quite interesting and very beautifully done. Will share about it when I find out what's possible in sharing... I'm just grateful to be involved in so many creative projects with my artwork! my acting, my comedy, my music, my art car, my visual art, mu poetry, all the different things that I do working with caring for animals, working with medical students and working with artists who draw the model. I am very very blessed and very very grateful for all the creative opportunities that I'm involved with as I continue to navigate how I heal and grow and learn -find more inner strength and individuate, drop the past be in the present etc. i also met with a doc film maker about my movie ideas. not sure where thats going but good to be open and talk movies with people in the industry. might do my own doc film about "Goddess KRING" or might find others who want to do this with me? or might never do the movie at all? who knows. i do want to write a book/memoir poetic book about my life "checkerboard childhood" part of my working title. amplified chameleon getting her dreams on etc. i keep writing comedy ideas down for my stand up comedy class! fun fun.

beyond duality

beyond duality

Part of why I want to do comedy is because that's a way of expressing myself in a therapeutic way and breaking rules and being rebellious without getting myself in trouble... because I'm actually quite angry and disturbed by what I think is a multi-level manipulation campaign... ironically people argue about what's true and false and I think some of the people that argue the hardest about what is true and what is false are the most manipulated and fooled and buy into the shadows on the wall instead of the real thing ...but I think that is by design... so comedy comedy comedy bring it On let's be funny! let's build bridges and not walls against each other etc find a way to connect with community without getting myself ostracized and humor might be one way to do that if that's not too honest for me to say this I know that comedy and tragedy is the flip side of one coin

I try to outsmart the gas lighters like that song that I wrote It's called outsmart the gaslighters and I wrote another song called polarized landscape about current times and I wrote another song that is called cancel culture vulture virtue signal soldiers and I think a lot of people are may or may not even be listening to what I'm saying in those lyrics but if they do they may or may not understand the point that I'm trying to make and let's face it nobody wants to be ostracized including me... being ostracized does not feel good... and it's part of our survival mechanism to not want to be completely demonized and ostracized from the human group that were in... I try to figure out how to build bridges with people and get away from the walls that people are putting up around each other. I know that I don't want to segregate myself from other kinds of people that think differently than me... so I'm trying to keep my mind open and not stereotype other people and when other people are stereotyping me I'm trying to just ignore it and move on and forgive them for being so narrow-minded or whatever... caught up in fear to the point where they feel like they have to stereotype other people. I very much relate to this video although I'm frustrated that I don't actually know how to speak my truth and stand up for myself and when people criticize me and tell me I'm wrong I feel like I'm on trial and I am not necessarily good at defending my right to have a different opinion than the cliche sound bites that people regurgitate and labeling who are the good people and who are the bad people... I see it in a totally different way... I see all the nuances and all the layers and how fake people are with each other actually and that they just want to feel safe... they don't really want to know the full on truth and yet that's what people mostly argue about these days is what is true and what is false and I think that we're having psychological warfare inflicted upon us.

Why Society Rejects the Truly Intelligent | Schopenhauer

I think that certain things have been hijacked and people are being manipulated and really more complicated ways than they even realize that a lot of really well-meaning people are saying and doing certain things but I don't think they're seeing that the manipulation is more clever than that. I just want to acknowledge the creepy feeling I have... like I know that these social media sites are mostly used to share superficial information- but I suppose we are allowed to be political activists on these sites if we have the correct cliche opinion and we demonize anybody who disagrees with us... it's like a form of psychological warfare that people are putting each other through and policing each other's thoughts. these days it is very creepy to live in a culture where I truly feel like I'm not safe in saying what my real opinions are... because when you say something that's not the cliche and pick side a or pick side b people jump on you and criticize you and I just want to point out I don't feel comfortable saying what my real opinions are here but I do feel comfortable expressing the frustration and the psychological disorienting what is it called cognitive dissonance of realizing that humans are being trained to only think they can pick box a or box b and not actually question the indoctrination of thinking that we're a good person if we think one thing and we're a bad person if we think something else and it makes me think of the stories of the Brave New World and 1984 and Plato's allegory of the cave is an allegory.

the Goddess KRING foundation for outsider artists

 

the Goddess KRING foundation for outsider artists

I'm thinking I should write up a proposal of what I want to do and look for wealthy people or organisations who want to sponsor me or donate to me in achieving this goal of creating a foundation for artists that are outsiders/ neuro diverse (I'm on the autism spectrum and ADHD and OCD and dyslexic and I'm left handed and I'm an only child and I have synesthesia which means I see shapes when I hear music). and I Goddess Kring would be the mascot for it and I would encourage other artists to be supported in it by it and for it and maybe I should write up a proposal and look for wealthy people who want to support me in doing this. I like the idea of buying a building and having my foundation be partly a way for me to share my art and music and poetry and video and every kind of multimedia thing that I do and also some kind of a school a workshop a place for people can go and create multimedia art and then there could be a community room space for other people to make their art and share their art and then there would be of course a place for me my work to be displayed and appreciated and respected.

And I'm serious and not joking about this- I would love to start a foundation the goddess kring outsider artist foundation! Like my poem I wrote that turned into a song called kaleidoscope unicorn ...and it's also a painting ...oxymorons through the door a group for loners and they all showed up! my art museum and art gallery would be a foundation for people who feel like Misfits that are left out and they can be inspired by my art and create their own art. .... And yes I still want to try stand up comedy and yes I still want to make a documentary movie about my TV show that was on Seattle public access for 15 years every single week called Goddess Kring ...and yes I still want to write a memoir book call checkerboard childhood Amplified chameleon getting her dreams on. so I will continue pursuing all of these dreams and I want to try to get as famous as I possibly can for my creative expression and I really don't care if people reading this think that's silly and that's my ego I don't care I'm a dreamer I dream big I've wanted to be a famous artist since I was 3 years old and I don't think everybody wants that some people do and some people don't but I have the courage to say out loud I would love to be as famous as possible for my creative expression and even if I fail that's okay I'm going to try anyway and the literal truth is I already am a little bit famous in the Seattle area and I'm very happy and proud of that. Thank you Matt Smith the very talented performer from that show almost live that I took an improv acting class from he taught us to say thank you I failed and raise your hands up and everybody claps for you because it doesn't matter if you fail or succeed it matters that you get out there and you express yourself and you create and you make an impact on the world that's what I'm here to do. Did you know that the cast of almost slide the Seattle comedy show once wrote me a postcard and they all signed it and they said we wish we could do our show naked like the Goddess Kring!!!!

shannon kringen thought ramble

 

deep thought ramble by shannon kringen

I wish my parents had given me up for adoption to a family who really really wanted a child. I'm the only daughter of parents who split up when I was four - they only got married because of me and they tried to make it work for 4 years and then they divorced. and I'm just having a whole new perspective on it right now like I feel so overwhelmed by the weirdness of my family dynamic with each of my parents separately and I realize that I have really really poor boundaries with each of my parents I always wanted them to be my mentor and to support me in pursuing my dreams but they were so busy pursuing their own dreams my dad with his comedy and folk music that he never really took off with and trying to get his love life together and my mom with her love life she was married four times and it's like my whole life was about both of my parents is pursuing of their dreams and trying to figure out their careers and their love lives and then me I got sort of I had to just figure it out on my own pretty much they encouraged me in little ways here and there but I also witnessed them criticizing successful people and I felt like it wasn't okay to be successful because then it meant I was on some kind of ego trip or whatever and that I was a jerk a selfish jerk or whatever and I felt like is a little kid that I had to like support my parents and hope that they could succeed with their careers and their love lives separately and then they would maybe focus on me and maybe it's the autistic part of me or something but there's still part of me that's like this little kid that is hoping that they that my parents will grow up so that they can raise me and it's really sad because I'm like 56 years old I'm infertile going through menopause and it's just such a weird place to be and you have accomplished a lot with my artwork like my art modeling I've built myself a freelance career by myself with no help of my parents and I work with lots of really nice people in the art field the medical field and the dog and cat animal field so I've accomplished a lot but I am really really angry with both of my parents and then I feel really guilty for having anger towards them because they're just wounded children themselves and it really hurts my feelings that my mom doesn't want anybody to know that I'm her daughter for fear that they would judge her as a mother and also if they don't like my artwork then they might not like her artwork but her website is basically been under construction for like 20 years and there's some beautiful work that she's done but she has a tendency to be such a perfectionist that she doesn't finish a lot of it and I know I probably shouldn't be publicly saying this but man I'm upset about this and I just don't know why I can't seem to learn this lesson that I need to let my parents go and focus on taking care of myself and being the best that I can be and just accept the fact that maybe I will never have a a family in the way that I wish that I could but maybe I can build my career and try to be as famous as possible for my creative abilities and share with as many people in the community as I can with the ways that I'm gifted and don't worry so much about my personal life working out in a normal kind of way I do have friends that put up with me some of my friends I think really love me and some of them can hardly stand my challenges that I face and I am so caught up in trying to survive myself that I don't really have time to relax and enjoy my personal life it's mostly about working all the time as an art model a medical model A dog walk or a pet sitter and an artist trying to get famous I'm trying to make myself famous and in fact I am a little bit famous for my public access TV show got interviewed by Seattle magazine I've accomplished a lot I think in May I'm going to get paid to be part of a fancy party with my art car and another lady who has an art car and I'm in a play and I might start try stand up comedy I mean I'm accomplishing a lot and I'm good and I'm talented and I'm very reliable to all the people that I work for I'm a really good pet sitter I love lots of dogs and cats I'm accomplishing a lot and I mean something and I'm valuable and the reason why I'm so obsessed with trying to validate myself is because my parents they invalidate me they gaslight me and I feel like even if I won the Pulitzer prize they would probably criticize and tell me that I needed to go help homeless people you know I'm sure that they would find an angle on that and not want me to get too caught up in my own ego or whatever and it's like it doesn't even matter like nothing really matters except love anyway but I still want to accomplish everything I could possibly accomplish and not be afraid and I want to have the guts to get out there and pursue my dreams full throttle and not let anyone who criticizes me stop me or discourage me in any way shape or form I want to be a strong Viking

self esteem and shannon kringen

 learn to do what people with high self esteem do! that is my goal for today ha ha. i know i am good person with talent but i truly don't feel like i deserve "success" and i feel guilty when i "win" contests etc. and i feel jealous of others with more self confidence than me. i also get angry when i see self confident people over doing that and putting others down while they succeed etc. i want to do both succeed and not apologize for it but also encourage others to go for their dreams and love themselves no matter what in terms of "success" or "failure". i trust myself to some extent but need more of this self love/self confidence. be an advocate for yourself and lift other up whenever possible etc. when people get competitive with each other and play games it's big time creepy but that is what egos do in humans. we want to "win" and see others "lose" that is creepy! i want to make the world a better place AND succeed and not be a DORMAT.

Val Kilmer is Inspiring

 I'm inspired by a lot of musicians and actors who happen to be famous and I don't believe in dehumanizing people just because they're famous! they're still real human beings that move us and touch us, inspire...innovate and contribute to the art and music and theater/film/acting world! Still thinking about the Val Kilmer documentary that I love so much called VAL ... so here's the trailer for it for those of you who are curious and have never seen it. it's really a beautiful movie and uniquely done narrated by his son who sounds very similar to him and then you partly get to hear how Val had to talk through the throat device because he had throat cancer etc he died on April 1st 2025 from pneumonia complications I guess and he was 65 years old... I'm very moved by this movie and I've seen it twice... I think I want to watch it a third time... it's very inspiring and it's magical to see videos of him with his brother when they were like 11 or 12 years old doing skits and filming themselves and making little movies and then he just kept on going I think he went to Juilliard to study acting just a very inspirational person and I absolutely love his version of Jim Morrison in the movie The Doors and his Mark Twain solo one man show that he did right before he got ill is also looked magical and I wish he'd been able to do more of that... This documentary that Val made about his life also contains some of his visual art and collages which I also enjoy and appreciate he got more into doing visual art when he had his throat cancer because he was less able to do acting so he explored his visual art creativity which I think is wonderful... https://youtu.be/trDBnzJqN6M?feature=shared

thoughts of shannon kringen

 

I've probably said this before I tend to be repetitive but here it is again! My first memory of wanting to be a performer or some kind of person that is in the public eye or that shares with an audience is seeing shirely temple on TV when I was a little kid and wanting to kind of emulate her wanting to sing and dance and act and sort of do show and tell the thing is I was very shy as a little kid but I had this secret fantasy that I could get a microphone and have my own like show and so I guess even as like a three or four or five year old I dreamed of showbiz and it wasn't until my twenties that I got my public access TV show that I literally did have my own TV show and I'm still sort of trying to dip my toes into the performing arts world with acting and singing and recording music and performing live and I guess art modeling for the last 33 years has also given me a taste of what it is to be on the model platform in front of students who draw I think of them like an audience but they're really I guess being an art model isn't really the same as being an actor but when I'm up there on the model stand I feel like an actor or I guess I fantasize that this is my starting off point of jumping off the diving board into literal acting and like saying words or singing or dancing in front of an audience and then when I'm in the Fremont summer solstice parade in Seattle on my bicycle and when I'm in the art car parades waving at people I feel like that's me being a performer I guess for some reason sometimes I'm just unaware of this and then I suddenly realize wait a minute not everybody wants to do all the things that I'm doing and I need to give myself credit for the courage it takes to do all the things I've done even though I'm a little shy but then I've heard other actors and singers and dancers and performers talk about the fact that they're kind of shy in a regular social way and yet they love being on stage or recording themselves or being photographed and that definitely fits my personality as well sort of an introverted extrovert or a slightly shy performer

I'm so grateful I just had a delightful time portrait modeling for some artists and when I told them that I do music and poetry and I have an art car and I used to do public access TV show they were fascinated by it as they were drawing me and painting the shapes of the planes of my face and talking about my bone structure and they were curious about my Norwegian heritage and trying to figure out how to draw and paint my features and it was so refreshing to be able to share my poetry book and the Seattle magazine article about me and show a link to my music they're going to check it out and they appreciated me sharing it so instead of interpreting me as narcissistic they interpreted me as an interesting person that was sharing with them so that is so refreshing when people are open to hearing about my creativity… They say it helps them draw me to know a little bit more about my personality…

Opal Moonstone is an improvisational design with rhinestones on a 2010 Honda Fit. I am delighted to add colors and shapes when I get the urge. I am known in Seattle for painting onto shoes and hats, and giving my hand painted "KringWEAR" shoes to musician Tori Amos, I am known as "Goddess KRING" from public access TV in Seattle and this art car is my current big project. I am an experimental multi media artist. Some of my favorite artists that inspire me are: Antoni Gaudí, Yayoi Kusama, Gustav Klimt, and Friedensreich Hundertwasser. http://www.shannonkringen.com/art_car.html

I am known in Seattle for painting onto shoes and hats, and giving my hand painted "KringWEAR" shoes to musician Tori Amos, I am known as "Goddess KRING" from public access TV in Seattle and this art car is my current big project. I am an experimental multi media artist. Some of my favorite artists that inspire me are: Antoni Gaudí, Yayoi Kusama, Gustav Klimt, and Friedensreich Hundertwasser. http://www.shannonkringen.com/art_car.html

deep thoughts by me

 

I've always seen the patterns that repeat and what humans do and seeing beyond The duality and yet people don't understand what I mean when I say that. So I kind of feel like I don't belong with most humans. So I guess I'm just one of these people that sees things differently and I'm kind of an outsider and maybe that's good. And maybe that's my role on this planet for now. Good luck everyone

One example of me singing beyond The duality is that I am not an atheist, but that doesn't mean I'm religious. I don't literally take religious things literal, but I am a spiritual person and I see nature as God and spirit and the ecosystem and life, and I don't appreciate that humans think they can outsmart and conquer nature and genetically modify everything with technology that is creepy. So I don't fit into this total atheist that thinks that we should genetically modify everything cuz there's no creator, but I'm also not a religious person that takes religious things literally, but I don't want to throw the baby out with a bathwater. I believe in actual wisdom in philosophy and I believe in nature and I believe that humans should work with nature, not try to dominate and conquer and outsmart nature with genetically modifying things and using technology that tinkers with our DNA etc. That's just the tip of the iceberg on that

Like when Einstein said that imagination is more important than knowledge, that is way way, way deeper than people realize. Because if you look at quantum physics, you realize that things are not set in stone and that life is literally flexible and that imagination has the power to create beyond thinking that something has to be a certain way and people associate that with being science, but science actually is flexible. Especially if you act ask Quantum physicists what is real? What is solid things change based on what we think or feel or imagine or assume etc. We are partly creating all of this. Things are not set in stone

trust yourself.

 TRUST YOUR OWN INNER VOICE/GUT/ FEELING /INTUITION. each person has their own wisdom. I guess the reason why I'm on every single social media platform I can find including alternative ones mainstream, alternative, whatever I'm on every single one that I can find that's free in addition to having my own website Shannon Kringen dot com since 2000... and then I share my photos on Flickr and my videos on YouTube. And I have several blogs and the reason why I maintain all of this is because in case they- whoever's in charge- decides to delete it or eliminate it all together. I cross post my art on every single website that I possibly can so that I can keep my creative expression published in the universe online as well as recording my voice making music and publishing poetry books and art books. That's my way of creative expression and keeping my voice literally expressed in the community online and I try to ignore all of the drama if i cannot personally do anything to "solve" it... and all of the people arguing about every topic imaginable. Everything we say and do online has been curated in some way and its being "collected as data to train machines etc anyway ha ha right? what a GAME. in the last several years especially, and it's kind of creepy like humans are being trained to think a certain way and act a certain way. And I am continuously trying to figure out how I can keep creating in some kind of inspirational way and not react with anger to all the things that I think are BS + downright abusive and disgusting and disruptive and negative/manipulative/mostly wanting to sell ideas and agendas and literally products... and blah blah blah blah blah. And I don't want to argue or debate with anybody who has different opinions than mine- and i want the world to have variety. I just want to keep creating from a place of joy and love and whatever Freedom we have left as humans. heres a collages i just made of my art book, poetry book i self published along with the article seattle magazine and the everett herald published on my art car. thank you everyone involved in this- this gives me joy and hopefully spreads positive eNeRgY to others in the community reminding them of playful fun aspects of life. i am inspired by Pippi Longstocking and Willy Wonka Oompa Loompa Boopity Do su·per·ca·li·fra·gil·is·tic·ex·pi·a·li·do·cious KringFlower Goddess KRING Music. Shannon Nicole Kringen is me.
