Beyond the Canvas—Let's Get Real About Art Pricing
Ever seen a painting you love, but then paused at the price tag? Totally fair. It’s a question I get a lot: “Why is original art an investment?”
So let’s pull back the curtain on what you’re actually paying for when you buy a painting. No jargon, no sales pitch — just real talk from me to you.
The Dream Finally Painted: 18 Years in the Making.
This is the honest conversation about where your investment goes.
1. The Unseen Labor: Years of Awkward Art (and 18 Years of Corporate Design!)
You’re not just paying for the hours I spend with a brush in hand.
For over 18 years, I worked as an online marketing designer while raising my two girls. Painting sat quietly in the background, waiting for its turn. Now, every canvas is backed by decades of design expertise, trial and error, and the big leap I finally made to chase this dream.
When you buy my art, you’re investing in that entire journey — the pivot, the persistence, and the practice that built the artist I am today.
2. The Rarest Club in Town: You Own the Original Story
Here’s the magic: each painting is one-of-a-kind.
When you take home an original, you own the only version that came straight from my studio, with all the texture, energy, and little quirks that make it unique. While I may offer limited-edition prints in the future, the original will always be just that — the original.
3. You're Fueling the Fun
This part’s simple: your support keeps the brushes moving.
Every purchase is encouragement to keep experimenting, keep creating, and keep bringing these ideas to life. You’re not just adding character to your walls — you’re cheering on an artist’s journey in real time. And that honestly means more to me than I can put into words.
Thanks for letting me share the behind-the-scenes truth. And if you’d like to explore, you can check out my original paintings — from still life to nature-inspired pieces, each one has its own story.
