Hello and Welcome to TreeJam.com
For years we travelled to Craft events and Art exhibitions around the world, visiting many artists and crafters that were unable to exhibit for various reasons of cost – distance – disability and transport. A major and common problem which we found, was that talent and creativity were often lost in a world where recognition and sales were becoming increasingly impossible amidst mass production in uniformed cellophane and card boxes.
It could be argued that artists…true artists, still remain in that same world where appreciation, recognition and value only become found once they are no longer alive! Unless of course a critic announces that a pile of bricks, a butchers window, a dot on white canvas or an electric spark is suddenly art! Or indeed if a billionaire purchases a collection previously denounced, making it immediately collectable.
Yet amidst all such absurdities…exists countless of artists and crafts creators working each day to produce and make a living.
