this year i made my first real art purchase. my friend Amy is the curator of Smith, a gallery in central Cape Town – so i am lucky to have a small glimpse into what’s happening in the contemporary South Africa art world. i would love to expand our art collection, but it’s something that has to come slowly and surely when you are starting out.
i always have – and still do – rely on finding “affordable art” to hang in my home & studio. i’m not averse to printing a picture i like and slapping it in an old frame, but i prefer supporting artists by purchasing original posters & prints. plus, the art is better. there are a bunch of goodies on Etsy and other online shops. here are a few i like.

great curation!!
Amazing selection! I’d love to move into buying real grownup art too but honestly have no idea where to start.
Whohee, am part of @miss_moss ‘s Affordable Art roundup if you’re in a buying mood: http://t.co/ywqIYZdXkx
Love all these picks! Another great source for affordable original art is the amazing San Francisco nonprofit, Creativity Explored: http://www.creativityexplored.org/
They’ll ship internationally if you contact them directly :)
Great affordable art. http://t.co/WbzUPDgzZh http://t.co/oB7O53mxbF
