The internet is full of large art marketplace platforms selling prints from independent artists. Its ok, but... We have a problem With Big "Art Gallery" Websites and related corporations.

While convenient, these sites often take hefty commissions (sometimes 50% or more), leaving artists with minimal earnings. More importantly, you rarely know:
Whether materials are ethically sourced
If printing processes are environmentally responsible
If your purchase truly supports the artist fairly
Why Buying Direct From Artists Matters??
The ideal place to buy authentic art online? Directly from artists' own websites and studios. When you purchase from individual creators like myself, you get:
Better prices (no middleman expensive commissions)
Full transparency about materials and processes.
As an artist, I will choose each detail and settings for the best printable results ever
Authentic connection with the artist behind the work
Unique pieces not mass-produced by corporate printers
You will have a unique piece of art (no more AliExpress / Temu art)
What Makes Small Artist Studios Special
As an independent artist handling every aspect of my studio, I ensure:
All my prints use eco-friendly inks and sustainably sourced papers
Each piece receives personal attention and quality control
Every customer gets authentic, human-created art (no AI-generated work here, PLEASE!!!)
Your purchase directly supports a working artist's livelihood
The Art You'll Find in My Collection
My work explores esoteric and mystical themes, surreal dreamscapes, abstract expressions, paranormal inspirations and muuuuch more!
Each piece invites contemplation - you'll find yourself studying every line and color choice, discovering new meanings with each viewing. That's the magic of real art made by human hands and imagination.
