Little things that make a difference:
Respect copyright & don’t copy or repost without credit
Please always credit the artist when sharing – to honor the energy and intention behind each piece and treating it with care.
Raise awareness about copyright when you see art shared without credit
If you notice someone posting an artist’s work without tagging or naming them, gently remind them. It helps build a more respectful and ethical art-loving community.
Talk about the artist’s work
Word of mouth is powerful! Mention their name in conversations, blogs, podcasts, or creative communities.
Share on social media
Repost artwork (with credit and permission), or simply share a link to their website or shop. Your post might reach someone who can make a purchase.
Engage meaningfully
Leave a heartfelt comment, write a short message, or simply let them know a piece touched you. Being seen and appreciated matters deeply.
Sign up for their newsletter
Stay connected and show interest in their journey — and forward it to a friend if something resonates.
Tag them when their work inspires you
Whether their art sparked a thought, feeling, or creative idea — tagging the artist lets them know they made a ripple in your world.
Recommend them for opportunities
Think of them when you see open calls, exhibitions, articles, or creative projects. A kind recommendation can open beautiful doors.
Hold space for their art
Sometimes the most powerful thing is simply sitting with a painting and letting the piece move you, letting it sink in, and remembering it. Quiet support is still support.
