Take a look at the powerful Faces submissions that are coming in from artists worldwide. Through portraits, abstract forms, and expressive interpretations, these works reveal vulnerability, strength, culture, and connection showing that every face carries a story worth seeing.
This article looks at the quiet strength shared by five dedicated oil painters. Through patience, steady work, and attention to everyday life, Sarah Sedwick, Jenny Barroso, Kim Smith, Emma Woolley, and Elena Gual show how persistence can turn ordinary moments into lasting beauty. Their stories reveal that creating art is as much about endurance and care as it is about paint and canvas.
What do faces mean to you identity, emotion, memory, or transformation? Across time and cultures, faces have been our most intimate storytellers, revealing and concealing, connecting and protecting. They hold laughter, silence, and the traces of every journey we’ve lived. Now, the **Women in Arts Network** invites **women-identifying and non-binary artists** from around the world to explore this timeless theme in our upcoming **international virtual exhibition**. Through your art, let faces become mirrors of humanity reflections of who we are, who we’ve been, and who we are becoming. Submit your work…
At some point in your art journey, your work finally leaves the studio. Maybe it’s wrapped up for a show, maybe it’s headed to a collector who found you online, or maybe it’s just your first sale ever. It feels good, right? But here’s the part most artists don’t really think about , that sale is just the beginning of your artwork’s story. What happens next, who resells it, and how its price changes over time, that’s where the art world starts to get interesting. There are basically two worlds your…
Five women talk about how the wild world around them shapes their painting. From ocean shores to open plains, they share how watching animals and light each day turns into quiet, thoughtful art.
At small shows, you can always spot the collectors. They move slowly, eyes lingering, heads tilting just slightly. They’re not rushing toward a sale, they’re trying to understand. They’ll glance from the painting to the artist, then back again, as if looking for a quiet match between what’s seen and what’s felt. Before they buy anything, they want to sense that the person behind the work is real, steady, and creating from somewhere honest. For women artists still finding their place, that kind of presence matters more than people realize. Collectors…
You ever notice how some artists seem to get seen everywhere , not because they’re rich or famous, but because their work somehow travels? It pops up in group shows, zines, someone’s Pinterest board, even in a random café post. And then there’s you, scrolling, wondering how your work that feels just as good, maybe even better, seems to vanish into thin air after you hit upload. Here’s the truth no one admits: being seen isn’t about being lucky, or loud, or backed by cash. It’s about being findable. And findable…
Before announcing the selected artists, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who submitted their work for The Places We Call Home. Each submission carried with it a story, a memory, and a feeling that reminded us just how beautifully diverse the idea of “home” can be. You invited us into your worlds into rooms filled with love, nostalgia, and quiet strength. Your art made us pause, reflect, and see that home is not just a place, but a heartbeat, a belonging that travels with…
Someone asks, “Where can I see your work?” and your stomach does that little drop. You’ve got the art, sure. You’ve got the passion. But the link? That part’s fuzzy. Maybe it’s buried in your notes app, or worse, still “in progress.” Don’t worry, you’re not the only one quietly avoiding that question. Every artist hits this point, where the studio feels solid, but the online world feels like a maze. Here’s the truth no one really says out loud: a good portfolio isn’t about fancy. It’s about found. It’s about…
