I leave it up to my clients. I wish to respect their wishes. Normally I don’t wear a mask etc. But if my client is convinced they they are more comfortable with a mask; I will wear one for them. Vaccinations are not talked about. That is personal. Thanks.

I’m a small business. Small chance of spreading virus. No crowds. Little contact with many people. Intimate clientele. I have sinks at the shop that use to wash up consistently.

When this question came up, I was afraid to answer it, because as an artist...I have mixed feelings on the subject. Sure it is wonderful to sell art. Art is so varied and appreciated in many forms. It can be so personal and decorative. I can be commissioned and yet get great pleasure in just enjoying expressing my feelings in it, then giving it away or keeping it. I have even painted for therapy and destroyed it. It's wonderful and exciting to see how others discover and express themselves in art. It can also be very unappreciated and discouraging.
That's an interesting question, and a little difficult. When I purchased the business 25 years ago, clients were introduced to me in the first month as I learned the trade, then as I earned their trust and confidence. Later I believe a lot was word of mouth. That's what I'm told.
