I love original art. There is just something wonderful about having the actual work of an artist hanging on your wall. You can see the marks and brushstrokes they made and to me, there is a connection made between two people.

This is the essence of buying handmade. Forming connections and spending your hard earned money on something real and tangible, knowing that someone out in the world put love and effort into it. Art doesn't have to be expensive, although many times it is, but don't let that stop you from collecting original art.

There are many beautiful prints out there, but I just can't get over my love affair with original work. With a little time and effort, you can find gorgeous original work for not much more than you would pay for many prints.
