In today’s digital age, many artists rely on social media to showcase their work and connect with their audience. But what happens when the platform changes its algorithms, or worse when your account is suspended? This is where having your own website becomes not just beneficial but essential.
In this post, we’ll explore why having a personal website is crucial for artists, offering more control, professionalism, and opportunities than social media alone.

Work Title: Happy Blue Bird (2020)
Year: 2020
Location: Walker Street Gallery and Art Centre, Dandenong, Australia.
Duration: 3 December 2020 – 23 January 2021
For this exhibition, 9 by 5, each artist was given an identical 9 x 5 inch board as the base of their artwork.
Looking at my board, I saw a blue bird.
I cut away the negatives, after a coat of primer, painted the Happy Blue Bird and their surroundings with a pallet knife.
