It is exciting to be able to reach out to artists directly in today's world. Many artists nowadays have their own websites where they sell their works directly so you no longer have to go through a gallery, which can be intimidating and expensive. All of this makes it so much easier to own original artworks. Many of these artists even love getting commissions. You can send them photographs of the space you are needing a painting for, the fabrics you have furniture upholstered with, and they will come up with a beautiful design just for you. In my opinion, original works make your walls come alive. Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of prints around my house (you all know The Aestate and The Pink Pagoda are my favorites in this category), but I do love my little original art collection.
I have a running list of favorite artists that sell their original pieces and today I want to share with you my favorite sixteen sources for original art. Let's start with Kerri Rosenthal (work above). You may know her best for her hearts and flowers, but this abstract is sensational. Her work is happy and friendly and so easy to incorporate in a pretty space.
