Hello, my friend,
How are you doing? Are you excited for the holidays or eager to get through them? Both are completely okay.
So, I’ve been thinking long and hard about the way I’ve been doing things. While selling my art in the shop has been wonderful, it can sometimes feel too easily accessible.
Being a full-time artist is stressful. Not to mention my boss (me) is a total micromanager. Pushing out weekly new works, photographing, managing the shop, marketing, vending at in-person selling events, keeping up with social media posts, writing newsletters, packaging orders, keeping track of inventory, and shipping out orders is a whole beast.
I’m just one tiny human trying to manage a million different skill sets all at once. In order to protect my sanity and keep my creativity alive and well, a huge change is needed.
From now on, I plan to release new collection drops every 3 to 4 months: 8 originals, 4 bookmarks, and 32 select prints. Newsletter subscribers will get exclusive, password-protected first access to the newest collection drops for 48 hours before it opens to the public.
I’ll be sending out sneak peeks of what I’m working on along with studio updates as usual over the next few months. Thank you so much for being here, friend. It truly means the world to me.
Have a blessed week!
Victoria Loria
