5 Years as an Artist: An Audience of One and a Labor of Love

August 30, 2023 in Hard Lessons

My audience is very small, usually one-off customers who are looking for something specific, or people I meet at art related events. I do not have a digital cult following like many art-influencers and I’m glad about that. I like being able to grow and change with relative privacy and the help of a few quality supporters. I am so grateful to my friends and acquaintances over the years for supporting my shop and art! Yes, I’d love to grow a larger audience, but organically and naturally. Even if no one was watching, I’d still make art and document it as I do now with this digital portfolio. In the studio, it’s just me alone sewing, cutting, drawing, picking through my supplies and experimenting with the bits and bobs I find. It’s the most relaxing time!

Have a Pleasant Day!
-Rae
