Should I push for a sale when a collector shows interest in my work?

When you know someone is genuinely interested—especially if they’re on your collector list and have shown enthusiasm for your work—don’t hesitate to guide them toward a purchase. If they express love for a sold piece, immediately offer alternatives or suggest a commission. The key is to do it casually while always keeping your interests in mind. When people are that interested and you know they have the means, it’s just a matter of finding the right fit for them. Even if they don’t buy immediately, maintaining that relationship and making sure they see every new work you create often leads to sales in the coming weeks or months.
