How to Find Authentic Canadian Art Online

Authenticity is key when buying art online. You want to be sure that the piece you’re investing in is genuine and that the artist’s story is real. Here’s how I recommend you approach this:

1. Research the artist: Look for a biography, interviews, and previous exhibitions. Check my website and social media profiles where you can learn about my journey and style.

2. Use reputable platforms: For instance, the online art gallery Singulart is a reputable platform that I work with to sell my art online. Artists go through their application process. Each application is then reviewed by their Admission committee which will then confirm whether the artist is accepted or not.

3. Check reviews and testimonials: Whether it is directly from my website or through Singulart's platform, you can check reviews from other collectors’ experiences which can give you peace of mind.

   
   

By following these steps, you’ll feel confident that your new artwork is a true gem.

What to Look For when buying Online

Buying art online is a bit like treasure hunting. You want to find pieces that resonate with you and fit your collection perfectly. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

• Consider the story behind the art: My Canadian West paintings tell stories of the Canadian West past. They focus on culture, tradition and wildlife. Find pieces that speak to you personally.

• Think about size and space: Measure the wall or area where you plan to display the art. In my website, you will find the dimensions of each piece and a mockup of the artwork in a room. Same applies to the Singulart platform.

• Understand the medium: Paintings, prints, sculptures – each has its own care requirements and price points.

• Ask about shipping and framing: I personally ship each one of my fine art prints. They are rolled in a very sturdy mailing tube. I insure the value of the artpiece when shipping. Through Singulart, my prints follow this process too! What's also great with Singulart is that each order includes insurance. So as an art collector you have less to worry about!

• Set a budget: It’s easy to get carried away, but having a budget helps you focus your search. Singulart has a filter option that allows you to select your budget, and the search results will come up accordingly.

  
  

Remember, buying art is not just a transaction; it’s a connection. When you find a piece that moves you, that’s the one to go for!
