Thank you, Jeni! I’m thrilled to hear you’re considering returning to your fine art photography business—that’s exciting! The online art market has evolved significantly, and there are so many creative and effective ways to showcase and sell your work now.

I’ll definitely consider covering some of those strategies in future articles. In the meantime, I recommend exploring platforms like Instagram for building your audience, Shopify or Squarespace for professional e-commerce, and perhaps even virtual exhibitions for a unique way to present your photography.

Best of luck as you plan your return, and please keep me updated on your journey—I’d love to hear how things unfold!

All my best,
Barney

Thank you, Louis! I’m so glad you found the post helpful. It’s always rewarding to hear when these insights resonate. Wishing you continued positivity and success on your art journey!

Dear Darice,

Thank you for sharing your story—it’s both heartbreaking and inspiring. I can’t begin to imagine the challenges you’ve faced after such devastating loss, but your resilience and determination to rebuild are truly admirable. Relocating, reestablishing your studios, and participating in Open Studios so soon is a testament to your strength and passion as an artist.

It’s uplifting to know you’re finding ways to move forward, even without a full collection of original art. Sometimes, that determination and the story of your journey can be as impactful as the art itself. I have no doubt your spirit will resonate deeply with those who see your work.

I wish you and your husband great success in Grass Valley and with the Open Studios events. Please know the art world is better because of people like you, who persevere and create despite the odds.

All my best,
Barney
