I'm an avid NPR listener. Whenever I hear a news report about the supply chain, I want to scream at the radio that there are no issues with visual artists. We've been in our studios since early 2020 with nothing to do but create work. We're overflowing with stock. Let me help you think outside Amazon.com to shop effortlessly, locally, and sustainably. You can start with the Boylan Heights ArtWalk and me.

Here are some of my other ideas for you:
Give a gift of learning by signing up for a pottery class.
Give an Audible subscription.
Give the chef a break by ordering from a pre-made meal delivery service like Hello Fresh.
Find a local shop that features and supports local artists like Raleigh's Pocket Gallery, Carrboro’s North Carolina’s Craft Gallery , and Apex’s Cocoon Gallery. There's also Gingham and Posh for gift baskets of local treats.
Search through the artist list at PiedmontCraftsmen.com for high-end fine crafts.
Artful Home has fabulous clothing for the fashionista in your life.
Very few people will say no to a massage. Google 'massage services near me."
Give a wine subscription to your connoisseur.
Hire a local lawn care service to do the yard work a free up Saturdays for someone special.
I hope this list gets you thinking outside the box for your loved ones and helps to make your gift-giving easier.
