The lovely Yuri and Maureen are the store owners of HAPA, a designer store (container) in the city mall of Christchurch CBD. HAPA sells contemporary jewellery, giftware, homeware, as well as artwork. Most of the stockists are local designers and artists... One of which is me! ;-)
Having started out my photography business online, I thought I'd take a leap of faith and try to sell my fine art prints in a local retail store... Who would have known that the first shop I try, was a success!
Between juggling the tasks of looking after my 9 month old boy and sorting out print orders, I finally got my prints together and now my art is selling in one of the most recommended retail stores in Christchurch. Did you know that HAPA was mentioned in the shopping section of Lonely Planet? :-)

Here's my g33k photographer shot with my exhibit in the store... Teehee.
Oh, my teething baby has woken from his sleep :-( Better sign off!!!
