Why Giving Artwork as a Gift is Important!

Giving artwork as a gift is a meaningful gift to give someone. Art is a unique gift and something that someone may not receive often but it is a gift that is appreciated and valued. A lot of time is required to choose the right piece of art for someone. Giving art shows your thoughtfulness and love you have for that person.



How Do You Know If You Should Be Giving Artwork as a Gift?

You can give artwork as a gift if you know the person loves the artist or artwork. Maybe they follow the artist on social media and like a lot of the posts. Maybe they have talked about the artwork with you before and how they are saving for it or eyeing it up.


 Maybe you own a piece of art that is similar and your friend always comments on how much they love it. Those may be good indications that the person would love to receive artwork as a gift. 


Why Giving Artwork as a Gift Matters

It matters because artwork is a personal gift. It was made with love and care in a very personal and emotional way and it is selected in the personal way. Where you have to really think about will the person like and value the artwork as much as I do selecting it? Artwork also adds personality to a home and a touch of personalization.  It makes a home feel and look special to the owner. 




Art can have special meaning. Art often reminds us of something. A moment or a memory. The same way hearing a song might take you back to a certain time. A piece of art can have the same magical power! 




Giving art is unique it will definitely be a gift that person always remembers and treasures.

Christmas Art Sale

I am participating in a Christmas Art Sale on Sunday November 20th 2022 from 10 am.

Come Join us for the Christmas Art Sale at the St. Agatha Community Centre at 1791 Erbs Rd, St. Agatha, ON N0B 2L0 for a Christmas Market on Sunday, November 20th from 10am until 6pm. This event is put on by Sweet Lights Company. 


I am also having at art sale at the Shakespeare Community Centre on Sat. Nov. 5 from 10am-2pm.

This is one of the first art sales I have done in awhile (since I was in university). I decided to do a Christmas Art Sale because I know it will be busy and a popular event. The event was first created at the end of June, so it has had a long time of advertising and attracting people to this Christmas Art Sale.

Why am I attending the Christmas Art Sale?

I want to make more money on my art this year so that I can pursue my passion of making and teaching art on a more full time basis. I know my art is beautiful and I would love to spread it around this holiday season!



Buying gifts for people you care about can be hard. I know I have lots of people on my list that are hard to shop for because they already have everything or they are particular about what they like. 




Art is a great gift to give. You can also give a gift card for my art, if you are unsure what people may want.


There will be a variety of vendors and artisans at this sale. Entry is free so I hope to see you there!
