An Actually Helpful Holiday 2020 Gift Guide That Supports Real People Part II: Artists Edition

I grew up learning the ropes of a 1974 Nikkormat film camera with my dad and forever became a part of the art world from then on. I still love shooting film (and now digital, too) to this day! Sometimes it’s for fun. Sometimes it’s for clients. Sometimes it’s for fine art.

The arts community has always had a special place in my heart. Artists bare their souls through tangible work and they let you have a peek into their minds (if you’re lucky).

Not all artists decide to showcase their work to the public, let alone sell it. But, a lot do! And I truly feel like artists are too often overlooked when it comes to gift giving. Art can be very subjective, thus making it incredibly difficult to give as a gift.

But don’t let that discourage you! Give art a chance. For yourself and as gifts. Art makes the world go ’round! Please peruse this list of artists I adore and have shops to purchase from.
