Still here? Ok.

Between 2022-2024 I successfully built and expanded a thriving art business specializing in paintings, gifts, wearable art, and home décor. Achieved $27,000 in sales through strategic marketing, including social media, direct outreach, and participation in fine art expos and juried exhibits. Established a prominent presence in the Maine art community and transitioned to full-time art sales, complemented by teaching and workshop facilitation. Dedicated to bringing clients’ creative visions to life and fostering artistic growth.
