Returning to My Lifelong Passion: Teaching Art I’m very excited to share that I’ve returned to one of my lifelong passions—teaching art. Some of you may not know that my very first job was as an art teacher, and I’ve always loved the creative energy that comes from helping others explore their artistic side.Now I’m offering abstract art Paint & Sip designed to be fun, engaging, and open to everyone—no prior experience necessary. These classes are all about creativity, color, and expression, in a relaxed, non-judgmental setting. Bring your favorite beverage, unwind, and let’s make something beautiful together. Classes are currently offered at several locations: Creative Liberties in Sarasota – twice a month on an onngoing basis Suntan Art Center in St. Petersburg – check current schedule and sign-up HERE Artist Haven in Holmes Beach ( Anna Maria Island) -check current schedule and sign-up HERE You can always find the current schedule and details at YvonneKrystman.art. Website and Showroom I’m continuing to expand the Art4Wear® collection, both online and in person. New limited-edition wearable art pieces are added regularly to Art4Wear.com, but as always, quantities are very limited and each piece is truly unique. If you’d like to see the work in person, visit my showroom and studio at: Creative Liberties Artist Studios, Gallery & Creative Academy 927 N Lime Ave., Sarasota, FL 34237 —a wonderful community of artists and creative energy where I create, display, and meet collectors and friends. New Location in Bradenton I’m also happy to share that Art4Wear® is now featured at the Herring Art Center LiveArtfully Artisan Boutique in Bradenton, FL. It’s a beautiful new space filled with inspiring artists, and I’m delighted to have my work included there. Sad Note About the Fort Myers Location Unfortunately, the Art4Wear® collection is no longer available at Tami’s Chique Unique Boutique in Fort Myers. While I’m grateful to everyone who supported Art4Wear by shopping there, the boutique, which operated on a consignment basis, is no longer in operation, and all communication with the owner, Tami, has ceased.Regrettably, I was never paid for the items she sold, and my remaining inventory that was there on consignment was never returned. I also know of several other vendors who have had similar experiences. While I prefer to focus on the positive, the situation leaves little explanation other than the conclusion that some of us were knowingly defrauded. Exciting News — Art4Wear® Is Officially Trademarked! I’m thrilled to share that—yes, you saw it right—the little ® is official! Art4Wear® is now a registered trademark, marking a big step forward in celebrating creativity and individuality through wearable art. Stay in touch You can always find updates about upcoming shows, pop-ups, and exhibitions on the Art4Wear Facebook page, and the full schedule of art classes and workshops is listed on YvonneKrystman.art. Thank you for continuing to support independent art and fashion. Your encouragement and enthusiasm make all the difference.I look forward to seeing many of you soon—at a class, a show, or one of the Art4Wear events this season.Warmly, Yvonne Krystman Artist | Designer | Creator of Art4Wear® |
