I've always had a hard time pricing my art. How do I truly put a price tag on something that I've poured over for many uncounted hours, and in this case, that has taken over a decade to mature and bear fruit? The answer is that there isn't an answer. I've given away countless artworks because I' believe art is meant to be shared, and a homemade gift is a meaningful one. I often walk into people's homes after many years, and find things I've made. It surprises me to find these imprints of myself, not quite forgotten, but out of mind. I have been a prolific maker almost all my life, like many of the women in my lineage. My creativity is the most natural thing about me, but more than that, it has rescued me countless times. It has anchored me through many a storm. It has connected me to my roots and lineage. It has become a pathway for communing with my subconscious. It has given my experience meaning when I haven't been able to find any in the external world. Through many hours of making, I learned how to be alone, to self-soothe, to love myself where and how I am. When the world is breaking into pieces around me, I make. When good fortune is shining down on me, I make. And because I know I will always be a maker, and because I believe art is meant to be shared, I'm selling these pieces for the low price of $133 each, shipping included. You can find the original artworks for Virginia Rosenberg's 2023 Cosmic Calendar for sale on my Etsy shop, planetarysignatures. Xx, J
