As much as I love to sell my work locally, I LOVE knowing that people all over the world have the ability to purchase and own some of my art via my online shop. I am always thrilled with orders but when orders come in for cards, notebooks or art prints from the United Kingdom or Australia I get a super charge. To know that people from such far away places want my work is such a thrill to me. So thanks to all who follow my work and purchase my work from various places around the world.
I have been creating a bunch of new work and have noticed I just can't and don't follow trends. Trends being the hipster style with lots of white and simple designs. It's so not me, not at all, actually. My creative brain is full of splashes of colour and words and the need to be entirely different. I was never really one to be swayed by peer pressure growing up and am certainly not now. I feel the same about trends, like it's peer pressure in a way. Society wanting you to adapt your art to what they want ~ a certain demographic that is buying at the moment. My art is not created to be a trend, it is created to be a lasting memory on someone's shelf or wall.
The image on the right is a new card design in the making. It will be under the category of Celebrating Love & Marriage. I love creating new and different cards for people celebrating love and marriage. This card doesn't just serve as a greeting card, it is an image that can be framed and kept forever. A far more lasting gift. These are the designs I love to create and will continue to create.
