“It’s time to let go”
Yes, I’m leaving the art business.
Over the last couple months, I started reassessing the direction I wanted this art business to go. I made some plans, but nothing felt very solid. I’ve been working on a painting and it was fun, but it didn’t really feel like my style of painting. It did however, feel like the style of my home. So I hung it up to see what it looked like.
After I hung it up, I looked around at blank walls. We’ve lived here almost a year and a half and I had hung a single picture. I’ve hurled my creativity at canvases and all but one have left my home. And in my effort to start a business, I’ve neglected to make my home feel like a home.
I’ve been feeling a pull to let go for a little bit. But that was the last nail in the coffin for me to realize that it’s time. It’s not because I don’t believe I can do it. It’s not because I’m setting art aside. It’s not even because I feel discouraged. It’s because I’ve poured a lot of myself into the business side of things, that I have a tendency to forget to be where I am right now, and just be thankful for it.
These last three and a half years were so worth it to me. Thank you so each of you who have bought my art, and supported me through this season. Creatively, I’ve grown so much. So much that it made me realize that my creativity is more than a “niche”. I haven’t been able to niche down this entire time, and it’s simply because I can’t. I’m more than a niche. My creativity is more than a niche. So I’m off to go explore more areas of my creativity, and actually just do it for fun. I don’t know if this means I supposed to let it go forever, I’m taking it one step at a time.
To the artists I’ve met on here and who’ve changed my perspective on things, thank you to each of you. I’ll still be keeping up on my personal account, waiting to buy your art whenever I can🖤
For my friends and family, I’ll still post my art on my personal account and if you’d like to purchase it, you are welcome to send me a message :) But generally speaking, most of it will be made for my own home.
So much love to all of you who have been on this journey with me. Farewell for now❤️
