Favorite Etsy Artists and Other Talents

Need Art?

 I often have clients who are looking for art to fill their walls. I much prefer original art to mass produced pieces. Local art shows and Art Leagues are terrific places to begin collections. Many of the artists found there have very reasonable prices. Of course, Etsy allows you  the art show experience without leaving home (which has it's pros and cons). Here are a few of my favorite Etsy shops that sell original art as well as a few artists whose work is not found on Etsy.  Many of these artists are extremely affordable!
