We are excited to announce our new website, The Artist Enclave. This online gallery will bring Karl’s work to a broader audience and allow clients to shop not only exclusive originals, but also prints in several media types - allowing all budgets to have access to great art. The site uses several features that make choosing the right paper type, canvas or other media easy and fun. Augmented reality, 360 degree viewing, and custom room mockups are all available and give buyers confidence that the final product will look great in their space. Choose from over 50 frames so that your piece arrives ready to hang. No more letting your print sit around for months until you get around to taking it into your local framer, then waiting weeks until you can pick it up. We’ve been there!
About The Artist Enclave
Courtney Bankhead’s inspiration to represent multiple artists through an online platform came after brokering art for well-known Utah artist, Karl Thomas, for 17 years. She realized that of all the industries she had worked with, selling fine art was her passion and forte. With a BFA in Graphic Design, as well as marketing and interior design experience, Courtney has a real world understanding of the obstacles and needs of both true artists, designers, and clients. Fine Art is being sold online more than ever before and traditional artists struggle to keep up. She created The Artist Enclave to 1. Help a hand selected group of artists sell more work online and in person, 2. Create a space for artists and collectors to create meaningful purchase experiences, through online shows, as well as physical shows and retreats. 3. To bring artists work to the commercial design space by working with office and hotel designers, allowing artist to benefit multiple times from each work of art.
