Art Markets
I have been selling at art markets since 2020 and have continued to develop both my displays and my products.
My favourite aspect of art markets is being able to trial new products without the pressure of online marketing and product photography, so it can be difficult to capture all of the one-off pieces I sell at markets. People can make a direct connection with the work and its materials without the barriers that can prevent them from purchasing or engaging with art. These photos capture both my market displays and some of the products I have sold, but I hope to emphasise that I am constantly growing and developing as an artist. My current goal is to sell at more markets.

Products
Some of the products I have recently been working on include stickers, temporary tattoos, clay magnets in a variety of sizes, pins, tote bags, badges, matchboxes, and, of course, original artworks. I also create mini watercolour prints based on recreations of famous artworks, which previously went viral.
I have also been working with ceramics more frequently. I love the intersection of accessibility and art, and to me, ceramics embodies that relationship. It combines the usefulness of an everyday object with the sentimentality and personal connection of art.
The photos show pre-fired ceramic works that I hope to sell at upcoming markets. These are a collection of “Love Birds.” Each piece begins as a single clay bird that is split down the middle, with each half finished in contrasting colours. The two halves can be reunited to recreate the bird, or separated so that one half can be given to someone else, creating a shared keepsake. I have also been making small ceramic rockets, which I plan to turn into badges, magnets, and jewellery.
