We all like to freshen things up for a new year, which is exactly what I have been working on behind the scenes.
Each year that I have had my website I have learned new things, explored new options, and pushed forwards towards new goals so that I can always offer the best services that I can. This year is the biggest re-launch ever and so I have started off the celebrations with a giveaway on Instagram [winners announcement below], but first a tour of the new site and what I will be offering in 2022.
Expanded Shop
Don't worry, you'll still be able to purchase paintings and more directly from me but I have changed the layout for limited edition prints. You can now find them within the options menu of your favorite painting. Prints will still be beautiful giclee prints on Hahnemühle German Etching paper, but will now ship straight from the printers with a certificate of authenticity.
Plus I have added the new "canvas" limited edition prints, they will be the same size as the original and are limited to just 5 but it will mean that you can enjoy the paintings you love even if the original is sold, or is a little too far out of budget.
A new addition to the shop will be the new print-on-demand items from Printful! I am naturally still working out how to best include these so each month I will add a new painting option to the category. But remember things won't be available forever so if you have a preference make sure to let me know and get your favorites before they disappear.
I have added a request shop item, if you select the option you'd like to see and fill in the "let me know when this is back in stock" form I will be able to collect this feedback to plan ahead.
As always if you would like to discuss framing options or you have specific questions about delivery please don't hesitate to contact me.
Gift Cards
Have you thought about buying something from my shop for a friend or loved one, but not sure what they'd prefer? Don't worry, there is now a new gift card option for you!
Testimonials
Have you bought something from my shop before the launch and would like to add your feedback? let me know and I'll send you a link to the feedback form. For all new purchases, you will be invited to offer feedback after the sale is completed. Testimonials are super useful for me to know what I am doing well and what new features you would like to see, but they also help new customers know what to expect. It really helps my career grow and I am grateful to anyone who takes the time to add their voice to this page.
More Services Offered
Naturally, the shop will be accessible from the new "services" page, but there are some bonus features that you'll be able to find here soon.
Commission and Curation Consultation will take you to a booking page where you can request a meeting with me. For both options, we can discuss what you need and how I can help. Within these pages, you'll be able to find more information about the process'.
Lastly, the "subscription" option is brand new, but it might sound familiar. I have had Patrons helping me with some of the running costs of keeping my creative career dreams alive, but this has been through a third-party site. I will be soon moving this onto my own website so that I can manage things easier, and people can opt-in or out of the rewards. I'll probably do a whole information blog about this new option but if you have any specific questions please get in touch.
New Portfolio Layout
First and foremost I create work to be seen, and so I have made the portfolio layout much easier to scroll through. Now you can very the two main collections by year, with more paintings being planned all the time I wanted to make sure you can find the latest work first.
There is also the bonus Instagram feed for the Geometric Abstraction Collection pieces. I am currently in the process of reorganising the collection into a digital format, you can follow the account to see the 200 collection sketches. My goal for the new year is to expand the available canvas' for the collection which you will then be able to purchase from the shop.
The Memory Silhouettes will continue to expand, I have new projects in a variety of themes planned. New paintings will be released onto the webshop on a frequent basis, make sure to sign up to the mailing list so that you can keep updated. I have taken some time away from painting over the last few months to focus on a big commission that I will be able to announce soon but with new canvas' primed and ready, I am excited to expand on what I can offer you. My desire is to use my skills and creative drive to bring colourful joy to my audience and I hope that I can keep achieving that goal.
