Want to know what lights me up about what I do? It's this. It’s the sweet dm's and emails I get from people who have just recieved my artwork in the mail ! What a difference from when I first started selling art directly to my clients- Full disclosure : I used to be so anxious about mailing art to people : will it get there safely? Now I'm way more confident : and can easily say yes, yes it will ! Artists save this post for list of shippers below these are some local heroes for shipping and of course shout out to @canadapostagram : @vancouver_pkgdepot @harrisonartservices @denbighfas *also so happy to have these thank-you cards made with beautiful branding by @novemberwild #art #shippingart #painting #rebeccachaperon #vancouverartist #vancouverart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfcc6ukvf0G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
