Introducing my works of art to the general public by way of artbylocals.ca has been a tremendous help to me.
Not having a website of my own and knowing the public is doing more shopping online, I needed a marketing strategy. The website is well set up and easy to use. The benefits far outweigh the reasonable membership fees.Within a few short weeks I was getting inquiries. A number of recent sales confirmed I made the right choice by choosing artbylocals.ca

I consider myself as a recreational artist that engages in an activity for the peaceful comfort it provides.The end product gives a feeling of satisfaction but not nearly as satisfying as the process that leads me there.The social restrictions we currently struggle with makes it much easier to sit for long periods and contemplate if brush strokes are properly executed and correct values have been selected to accomplish the primary objective. I love to paint.
