Success is never guaranteed, and when it lasts, it is most often because the fortunate individuals it attaches to work hard and passionately. Take the case of Zabel, a painter from Champlain: she has been enjoying significant commercial success for a few years and continues to evolve her art. However, COVID came into her life nine months ago and continues to weigh as much on her work as on her personal life.
Bad news is balanced by another, very good one. Last September, a Japanese gallery owner came specifically to her studio in Champlain. Of course, to meet her, but also to acquire her works, which she wants to present to potential Japanese buyers.
Yumiko Yamasaki is very active on social media through her business Miraculous, which is dedicated to promoting art and beauty. She also sells products across a broad spectrum, as she is interested in fashion just as much as in art.
