Someone started a little art shop. Here’s why.
When I was a kid, I took permanent markers and decorated my parent’s piano keys, found ways to paint anything on anything, and even sold paintings door to door in my neighborhood as a first grader. Thank you Mrs. Pfister for actually buying one.
But art, and being an artist in some form has always been in my veins. It is soothing, it is therapeutic, it’s my happy place.
I’ve studied and trained in different forms all of my life. From a studio in Iowa, to warehouses in Minneapolis, to the canals of Venice (I was actually interviewed for the Venice news and to this date still have no clue what was said), to the countryside in Aix-En-Provence, France (with my backpack and paints in tow), to any table in my home that’s covered in sketchbooks, paper and paint.
Well, as life sometimes does, what we love to do gets pushed aside. In my case, it was putting brush to paper or canvas, and my art.
Then, three years ago when I started this blog, I began to regularly sketch and paint again in a cool little watercolor book. As I posted more and more pics of pages and pieces, more and more of you would ask if I sold my art, if you could buy a print, or if you could commission me to do a painting.
Which I am finally getting around to doing.
So, enough about me. Go check out my little online art gallery shop, Goldfish Kiss Goods, where you can buy limited edition prints (I only made 10 of each, they are all signed, numbered and embossed by moi…and I think they are rather pretty). I also will throw in some originals pieces every now an then too. I’ll also be posting all of my design collabs over there too.
Fun times.
So, thanks for supporting my love for art, and helping me get back to doing what I love.
And I forgot, thank you Mrs. Watkins. I think you bought a painting when I sold them door to door too.
Which reminds me, I am way overdue on doing another watercolor…
