A few years ago, my wife Wendy started realizing her dream of creating and selling beautiful art. In just a few short years, she had sold several dozen canvases and painted musical instruments.

Then the pandemic hit and all of her opera and TV work disappeared. She was still able to make a few sales during the early part of the year but needed a way to reach even more people in order to generate more.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve received assistance from Digital Main Street’s ShopHERE program to create an online store where Wendy can sell her paintings directly. The process was tricky at times, and required building a Shopify store on top of a Squarespace site.

But the dust has settled and we’re thrilled to announce the unveiling of the Foley Music and Arts online store! Here you can buy paintings directly, as well as gift cards that can be applied to either paintings or music lessons.

Right after launching the store, Wendy made a quick sale to a buyer in Utah who had had their eye on The Blossoming Cello for some time. You can browse through a full gallery of Wendy’s artwork here before proceeding to the Buy Now page.
