I am a world traveler, and a photographer as a past-time hobby. I recently had a solo art show this past May, 2010 and it was a greatest turning point of my art career.
What items do you carry in your shop?The main goodies that I carry in my shop is my original paintings, vintage illustrated books, and craft items.
How did you decide on your shop name?
As an owner and creator of KhaliNouveau, the name of my business came about from a nickname ‘Khali’ given from my family, and “Nouveau” is French for ‘New’ inspired from the most famous and my favorite art period, Art Nouveau.
