Balancing creativity, production, marketing, and sales on a day-to-day basis is no easy task, and artists who work hard to make a living at their craft deserve some attention and a HUGE amount of respect. And no…I’m not talking about me.

Please do not message me about ordering prints or originals this holiday season. Instead, comb through this list above or search your own community or social media feeds and find someone special that could use your support, attention, and encouragement to continue with their craft, and BUY SOMETHING. They are the ones that help to make this world a more beautiful place and need our continued support.
If you have an artist that you’d like to recommend to me, please let me know in the comments below.
