A statement on Paintings I Love website (advice, info and publicity)

Sabine K 03.April 17

Dear fellow artists, as some of you know I feel very passionate about Action Post Partum Psychosis (APP).

This year I would like to sell some of my pictures in order to contribute a substantiated amount to APP.

APP's resources are quite limited (with regards to my subject matter), but they would like to publish my bio and some of my pictures on their social website (app-network.org).

1. Have you had experiences in selling your work for a good cause?

2. How do I go about, but simultaneously protect myself from too much publicity?

3. Which website or other contacts would you recommend?

4. How did you feel about going public on facebook? (cost involved, delivery of paintings, safe accounts?)

Your advise is very much appreciated via e-mail. THANK YOU

Sabine K

Hi Sabine,

I just wanted to say that I find your paintings very beautiful!

I'm not too out with my PPP but hope that someday I can be.

maybe just see where your comfort level

Is right now.

All the best!

Hello Flower, thank you for your kind compliments. Yes, comfort level is important and one has to find out where the boundaries are. At the end we have to look after ourselves in order to be there for our loved ones...but it is nice to look beyond and then step back into your comfort zone...Kindest wishes, Sabine

Hi Jasa

Your paintings are so rich and beautiful. I have a local friend in Devon who has a lot of experience in selling her work online. I wondered if you would like to message her on Facebook to talk about the process? facebook.com/kathhaddenart/

Hello Naomi,

sorry for not replying sooner. I have been on holiday, actually in Devon. :-)

Thank you for your kind reply and positive comment about my paintings...yes, I love colours and nature...

I will have a look on FB. Thank you.

Take care,
