I’ve been selling my art prints on Etsy for about two years, and around 90% of my customers have been from the US. Since the de minimis exemption ended and new tariffs were introduced, my sales have dropped noticeably.

Why do so few Europeans buy art on Etsy? And why hasn’t there been a proper European platform for genuine, human-made art and crafts?

Especially now, with AI-generated products flooding online marketplaces, it feels harder than ever for real artists to stay visible and make a living.

I used my 17 year old artist markers on the same matte fine art paper I use for printing! the results are incredibly vibrant, even more than what you can see in the photos!
