I've been in the process of selling a few things in my home & making way for some BIG changes. A baby-space/office (if you can believe that). Our son is growing quickly & needs a little more space to move around.... so, I've decided to sell a few things including my white leather daybed. (pictured below). In the process of all this... we are also working on a new blog design + new site design....and I've been painting a bunch of new ART to add!
Now for the BIGGEST news....after 10 years in business as Made By Girl, a portion of my business will be partially closed down. What I mean by that is - the prints/poster section of my company will no longer be available. So basically, 98% of the ART on Made By Girl from that point on, will be original paintings. I've thought about this change long & hard & contemplated on many things. To be honest, it feels like the RIGHT CHOICE for me at this time. Perhaps this is the beginning of something more meaningful?? I don't know. But what I do know, is that new beginnings make room for others things to grow.
THANK YOU for all your support throughout these years with my art-prints portion of my business. I can't even begin to tell you how HAPPY it made me & how much I learned from it. Unfortunately, the ART PRINTS business has become terribly saturated & EVERYONE is now a designer of prints/posters CREATING prints with every quote in the book! Sadly, the uniqueness has died.
So, on I go to the NEXT THING.....to innovate & create new work. And in the meanwhile, my Original paintings come with me. That + a bit more is what I will be showing you with the new site (for the most part). Stay tuned, as we will have a HUGE sale soon .....on... ART PRINTS.

Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to all the changes and new blog design.
I will miss your prints (as I have two that I love) but I agree the market is saturated. Smart move!
I think that motherhood changes our perspective on alot of stuff. Change is good though:)

Sometimes knowing when to walk away from something is the most difficult thing we can do. Good luck with the future! I can't wait to see more original art from you :)

Hi Jen, I have to agree with your comment on the print business. It has been saturated and so much to choose from. Change is good and I can't wait to see your new venture. ¡Buena suerte!
