We partnered with Brenda Hartill, a celebrated artist whose career spans more than five decades. Known for her experimental printmaking techniques such as etching, collagraph, carborundum, and monoprints, Brenda’s work explores texture, landscapes, and the natural environment.
The goal of the project was to create a modern online platform where collectors and art enthusiasts could discover and purchase Brenda Hartill’s artwork.
Our team developed a Shopify-based website to showcase and sell Brenda’s paintings and prints online, combined with an SEO strategy designed to attract collectors searching for contemporary British artwork.
The result was a digital platform that allows the artist’s work to reach buyers in the UK and internationally.
