Sending art through the post or a courier is nothing to take lightly. The last thing I want to hear is that your treasured purchase arrived to your place in a damaged condition. That is a little heartbreaking to think about, and has never happened to be so - touch wood! When selling art, the packing process has to be considered carefully. There is a lot that goes into protecting an art piece when going through the courier system. We can never fully predict what trials and tribulations it will encounter along the way.  I just thought I would take...

  Your home is a reflection of you—your space to express your personality. The art you choose to hang on your walls will affect the atmosphere of your home and the energy that will radiate into every aspect of your life.  When we have young children, we may not spend a lot of time or money thinking about how to decorate our space.

I have to be honest with you.  I still struggle to express myself. Sometimes.  If you don't know my story I grew up painfully shy. Too scared to speak up in class, always the one sitting quiet as a mouse. Even with my good friends I would sit back and let them do the talking.
