Tell us about your business/ product.
Mirabela Gallery was established in 2010 and is an online gallery with viewings at markets where I have the pleasure to meet my audience and connect on a personal and powerful level. I provide the local community, as well as the larger international market, with affordable high quality art that is vibrant, fresh and often leaves viewers feeling both inspired and happy.
What do you love about the markets?
I love meeting my collectors personally and having the opportunity to connect in an environment that is vibrant and lively.
What is it like to be part of the market community?
Fellow stallholders enrich the experience and the sense of community is rewarding. It’s wonderful when stallholders come together to support one another.
What makes you passionate about your business / product.
My mission is to create art that inspires, elevates, restores and reconnects people to a deeper connection to themselves and the world at large. I am passionate about inspiring people deeply and leaving a lasting impression.
How have the markets supported you?
Having an outlet for my creative masterpieces has allowed me to connect with my audience and build lasting connections, giving them the opportunity to see the art in real life and get to know me personally.
