Here you will find two lists:
A Personalized Artist Wish List &
A Preferred Supplies List
Personalized Artist Wish List
I chose to make a public wish list for a few reasons. It is an easy way to support an artist. While having both established and new collectors is wonderful, collecting is not the only way to show support. If you are interested in supporting artists but are not ready to invest in a specific piece, making use of an artist's wish list is a great alternative. Other options include signing up for newsletters, sharing posts on social media, donating to art organizations, or referring artists to potential clients. Sharing a wish list offers another way to help an artist by purchasing a tube of paint, a new brush, or a canvas they need to fuel their creative passion and continue pursuing their career. Remember, there are many ways to back the arts beyond buying artwork.
I encourage artists to share their wish lists publicly without feeling uncomfortable. I have found that many art enthusiasts want to contribute in small ways, and a wish list provides the perfect opportunity for them to do so.
Preferred Supplies List​
​
Above is a link to a more extensive list of the products I use in my studio practice, (painting, collage, and mixed media). Please note that colors, size, and pricing will vary depending on what you want and where you purchase these products. I typically purchase my supplies from Blick Art Materials, Jerry's Artarama, Michael's, Barnes & Nobles (for decorative paper), and sometimes Amazon. I also find supplies and tools at Lowe's, local hardware stores, and thrift/antique shops.
