Artists Emotional Attachment and Personal Investment

Artists, especially when first starting to sell or gift their art, experience how difficult and emotional it is to let go. Ask anyone that knows me well, I have actually turned down collectors that wanted to purchase my work because it felt like a part of me would feel incomplete or missing. (I don't feel this way anymore!)

One of the most common reasons is the profound emotional bond artists form with their creations. Artwork is frequently described as an extension of the artist's soul, personality, or inner world—infused with their ideas, emotions, struggles, and personal experiences. This makes letting go feel like severing a part of themselves, similar to giving away a child or a diary entry.

Fortunately, with modern technologies, this does not necessarily have to be the case. I have discovered so many cool ways to reproduce my work and actually create a larger audience due to collectors personal tastes, preferences, and pocketbooks.

NEW MEDIA AVAILABLE. I now can offer my images using BEAUTIFUL Acrylic Glass Finish for VERY AFFORDABLE PRICING ~ HD reproductions using a high end Fuji Crystal Paper. The results are amazing, clean and modern. As an additional feature, I can print images using a translucent effect and feature LED lighting behind to further bring my images to life (Thanks to my husband's idea)

I will be introducing these glass reproductions (some with lights) at the FOR ARTS SAKE show on Saturday, September 20, 6:30-9:30PM. Check out the link below to get more information.
