How to find unique & affordable vintage art

+ a curated list for you

Art is the hardest fucking thing to find. There’s a reason when I moved into my own place, the oversized white walls of my studio remained pretty much empty for 2 years. I combed the internet for interesting prints, paintings, sketches…only to abandon 40 tabs of nothing I truly loved, and close my computer in defeat with a glassy-eyed exhaustion.

While my floor-to-ceiling bookshelf solved most of my problems, I’ve also become wiser and more strategic in my art search. I don’t want you to have the same experience I did, to carry around art-defeat-trauma and never want to open another tab on your laptop again. No! We are in this together. I’m older and wiser now (hopefully), and through trial and error and lots of research, have come to you with tried-and-true search terms for your next sourcing endeavor. I also curated a list for you, sorted by category, to start you off with your search.
