More Than Just an Artist

General 0 Comments

Sometimes, I do not think people realize how far I have come. Yes, “I paint for a living,” but I want to break it down.

  • I own my very own gallery (and bought my downtown building that my gallery is in).
  • I have an LLC, I am registered as a business, I am licensed and insured (I have to pay taxes).
  • I am a business owner. I have learned to manage things such as sales, reports, time, customer service, marketing, and more.
  • I do commercial things along with smaller personal things. I take custom commissioned orders along with hosting my own events and operating a gallery.
  • I am constantly painting for others and then for myself to keep my gallery stocked.
  • I am out in the community not only showcasing but using my art to raise money for different events, charities, local fairs, and churches and more.
  • I have developed the best relationships with my clients, who some have became close friends and I strive to make those relationships last forever and then some.

The list goes on and on and I am 100 percent sure I am forgetting a few things. I Just wanted to take a moment to break it down for those who see me and think “oh she’s just an artist” – well they are correct but at the same time they are so very wrong , because I’ve turned my passion and gift into something amazing that I push to the next level constantly. I work so hard and giving up is not an option for me. I still feel like I am just getting started. This will be some of the things that will forever separate me from other people/artists. So, with that being said, y’all be on the lookout for what is up ahead.

Mandy Mae creates and displays her eye-catching creations at her studio, Mandy Mae Fine Art, located in Downtown Ponchatoula. Mandy Mae is a world-renowned abstract impressionistic artist. Inspired day and night, her subject matter ranges from her Louisiana favorites, churches, and modern abstract. She either uses a mixture of soft colors or at times vivid colors to create her pieces. Mandy also favors the impasto style when it comes to her art, and she tries to incorporate this technique in pretty much all of her paintings. Mandy Mae paints pieces for her gallery, produces commercial and private commissions, hosts Sip & Paints, does live events including weddings, and curates her art shows. Mandy is originally from Luling, Lousiana which is located just right outside of New Orleans and currently calls Ponchatoula, Louisiana her home with her husband and three sons. Mandy’s gallery, Mandy Mae Fine Art, is located in the heart of the downtown Ponchatoula, Louisiana at 128 W. Pine St. Ponchatoula, LA 70454.

Printed on a premium matte finish, acid-free fine art papers using archival inks to guarantee that they last a lifetime without fading or loss of color.
