“When buying from an artist, you’re buying more than just an object. You are buying hundreds of hours of failure and experimentation. You are buying days, weeks and months of frustration and moments of pure joy. You aren’t just buying a thing. You’re buying a piece of heart, part of a soul, a moment of someone’s life. And you’re buying the artist more time to do something they are passionate about. You are allowing them to continue to create, and grow. You are supporting the local economy, and encouraging creative expression.” - Rebekah Joy Plett
