A lot of people seeking art, whether it is for decorating a home or office, or adding a piece to a collection, like to go “the source” but find it expensive to travel to galleries or art auctions to find that perfect piece. This is why many artists have developed their own websites where you can purchase art directly from the source.

I have compiled a Top 5 list of quality artists and their websites that offer original art and limited edition prints from up and coming artists, with a quick review of each.

1. Sarah Wieman

   
   

   Sarah has a wide selection of original art and prints with an easy to browse website. Her art has varying themes, and her medium is usually oil and canvas, and she is from Cincinnati, Ohio.

2. Edward Gordon

   
   

   Edward has a variety of original and prints, along with a detailed list of his upcoming shows. His paintings are extremely detailed and realistic, and he is from Bellows Falls, Vermont.

Here is an interesting site I found that you can make your own art using your photos, great gift ideas, etc. This is just a fun site I’ve found and have actually used their service.

Hopefully you look through all of these artists’ websites. If you are an artist, these sites may help to give you an idea on what to do to break into the art business, and if you are looking for fine original art and/or art prints, support the artists by making a purchase!
