With a Little Help From My Friends

I dedicate this love letter to my Château de Chanteloup #CampFam, you all helped inspire me to sell my original paintings.

Showcasing my #ArtBeats outside a Château in France Helped me reach a level I didn't think I was ready for...

For two years I refused to sell my paintings; most of you were there... you know. Then I came up with a grand idea that allowed me to both share my paintings as well as keep the originals nice and safe in my heart... errr, if I’m being honest, I kept them nice and safe in my attic studio; free from judging eyes.

I created #ArtBeats; handcrafted miniature replicas of my original paintings that I fit into necklace charms and broaches. I was so scared to bring them with me, but it’s not every day you’re able to showcase your artwork in the beautiful countryside of France.

I took a big inhale, put my big girl panties on... and I showed the sh*t out of my paintings; under a magnificent 200-year-old tree in front of a chateau that dates back to the 1400’s. And everyone that took a moment to speak with me about my paintings covered me with love, understanding and praise.

I owe them because if it weren’t for their insistence ... I probably would not be launching my art shop today and selling 18 of my lovelies.

Now that the Art Beats are discontinued, those wonderful souls, my first patrons, will exclusively have my handcrafted replicas. From here on out, it’s just originals, baby.

And as a thank you to the camp family over at Château de Chanteloup, I will be giving them 10% off for any future purchases.

So if you’re one of the #CampFam, please check your inbox for a personal email from me with your patron discount code. I can’t thank you enough. It may have been a small exchange to you, but it was truly life changing for me.
