Fair question.
Over the years I’ve sold my work through my studio, galleries, exhibitions, pop-ups, my website and various online shops. If you’ve been around for a while, you may also be wondering where the hell all the Bougie Punks went.
They’re still here.
I’ve just cleaned up how I sell them.
There are now two main ways to buy my original artwork.
Studio Direct
The smaller originals, playing cards, mixed-media pieces, Sassy Birds and various things I make because apparently I cannot leave well enough alone are available through Sara Leger Studio.
The shop itself is hosted on Etsy.
Yes. Etsy.
I know Etsy has become synonymous with everything from handmade pottery to a mug with your accountant’s face on it, but the platform does something extremely useful: it handles the boring transaction bits while I get to paint.
I can live with that arrangement.
These are still original works by me, created at Cherry Bomb Studio in South Glengarry, Ontario and shipped directly from my studio. Etsy is simply where the transaction happens.
Gallery Works
Selected larger paintings are represented by Xanadu Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Those works are purchased through the gallery rather than through my Studio Direct shop. Different inventory. Same artist. Considerably fewer opportunities for me to lose the paperwork.
You can see both collections from my ART page and choose whichever rabbit hole suits you.
And the Bougie Punks? Still here.
First, Bougie Punk is the brand. It’s the whole thing around here—the art, the aesthetic and the general tendency to take something perfectly respectable and fuck with it.
The Bougie Punks are something more specific: my original works painted on oversized playing cards. They live in the Studio Collection and are available directly from me because the art world is still working through its feelings about paintings on playing cards. We wish them well.
These punks are also where you can stumble across an original Sara Leger for under $500 CAD.
Consider them the gateway drug.
Same world. Smaller commitment.
Although I’ve seen how this works. You start with one playing card and suddenly you’re considering where a six-foot Sacred Heart would look best.
Want to see things before they disappear?
That’s what the Inner Circle is for.
New work, studio releases and the occasional thing I haven’t put anywhere else yet land there first.
Because while I may have finally organized where you can buy the art, I have absolutely no intention of becoming predictable.
