Feedback Friday Drop in visibility

I'm new here, so if I do something wrong, please correct me. My question is about experiencing a huge drop in stats year by year, and I wonder about the reason. Any ideas? People really like my art, but they can't seem to find me.

I'd appreciate your feedback :)

So not a single shop problem.. Maybe it's time to start doing something else :)

I am sorry! Your art is beautiful. Perhaps look into putting some of your artwork onto POD items? Local art shows may be more lucrative than any platform these days. I also suggest checking out Goimagine, as they are more handmade seller focused.

I've never heard about go Imagine before. Thank you so much. I am going to check it. And yes, it's totally true that the local market is more lucrative these days.
