Most of the time, I’m in the studio making work or sharing it online without knowing where it might eventually lead. So when I received a message from the team at Faire, it caught me completely off guard.
As it turns out, someone had actually searched for my brand on the platform. That search prompted a conversation, and before long I found myself exploring the possibility of offering my work through wholesale.
I hadn't been actively pursuing that path. In fact, it wasn't something I had seriously considered until they reached out. But the more I learned about it, the more it made sense.
I've always believed that art can find people in unexpected ways. Sometimes it's through a gallery, sometimes through a late-night scroll online, and sometimes through a thoughtfully curated neighborhood shop where a customer discovers something they weren't looking for until they saw it.
Wholesale creates another opportunity for those connections to happen.
What appeals to me most is the relationship between independent artists and independent retailers. Boutique owners spend countless hours selecting pieces that reflect the character of their shops, and artists pour themselves into creating work with intention and meaning. When those two worlds meet, something special can happen.
The experience has also been a reminder that you never know who is paying attention. You spend years quietly building, creating, and sharing your work, and then one unexpected email lands in your inbox because someone was looking for exactly what you make.
I'm still at the beginning of this new chapter, but I'm grateful for the opportunity. Whether someone discovers my work through my website, a local retailer, or now through Faire, my hope is the same: that the piece sparks a moment of curiosity, reflection, or connection.
Sometimes the most meaningful opportunities arrive when you aren't chasing them at all.
If you're a retailer interested in carrying my work, you can explore my wholesale catalog on Faire Direct. I’m grateful for every shop that chooses to support independent artists and thoughtfully curated collections.
