Painting Revamps

During my first art fair, I was able to hear some feedback about my paintings from others, most the time while they didn’t realize I was hearing their feedback. It was a great opportunity to understand what people liked and what they did not like about my work. And while most of the feedback wasContinue reading “Painting Revamps”

It’s always exciting having a conversation with someone new about my artwork. It is incredibly satisfying when someone wants a piece of art I have already created or wants me to do a new project for them, especially when it is someone that I do not have much or any history with.
