RealArt4All – Original art, for everyone

Our Story

I first fell in love with painting and printmaking while studying at Leeds College of Art. Although life took me down other professional paths, I’ve carried on as an amateur artist, completing commissions and selling my own work ever since.
More than two decades ago I sketched out a dream: a shop that would make affordable, one‑off artwork available to ordinary people, without gallery mark‑ups or intimidating price tags. The internet was in its infancy, so the idea lived only in a notebook—until now.

Why RealArt4All?

In a world where AI‑generated images can be produced in seconds and stock sites churn out endless look‑alikes, many of us still crave the texture of real brushstrokes and the knowledge that a living, breathing artist stood in front of the canvas.
RealArt4All exists to connect creators of genuine, original work with the people who want it, whatever their credentials:

  • Artists – Whether you’re a GCSE student, an art‑college graduate, a hobbyist, a talented pre-teen or a late‑night kitchen‑table painter, you can list your pieces here. No gatekeepers, no “CV required”, just honest art.

  • Buyers – Browse fresh, unfiltered creativity. Find that perfect statement piece, a gift with a story, or simply something that complements your colour scheme—without the premium that comes with a recognised name or a glossy exhibition.

What We Stand For

  • Authenticity – Every listing is a one‑of‑a‑kind original, not a mass‑printed poster or an AI derivative.

  • Accessibility – Clear pricing, no pretentious jargon, and artwork starting at prices most people can genuinely afford.

  • Fairness – Artists set their own prices and keep the lion’s share of each sale; we take only a modest commission to keep the platform running.

  • Community – We champion emerging talent, share their stories, and celebrate every sale as a small victory for real creativity.
