Thank you all for your support, for shopping local, and supporting causes!

We wanted to take a moment to address some recent concerns regarding a couple of AI-assisted images that appeared on our page.

We have also seen some inaccurate statements suggesting that we continued posting AI content after customers raised concerns. That is not the case, and we simply want to make sure the facts are clear.

It was never our intention to offend anyone or to diminish the work of artists.

Artworks of Nature is, and always has been, a small local business that believes deeply in supporting artists, makers, small businesses, communities and people around the world.

The AI images in question were used simply as a creative way to accompany a crystal riddle and to help visually explain the charitable mission behind our shop. They were never intended to replace the work of an artist, represent something as handmade that was not, or take work away from local creators.

We heard the concerns that were shared with us, and we respect that people have different feelings about the use of AI.

What we do hope people understand is the heart behind Artworks of Nature. We have spent years building a shop centered around beautiful things made by real people, products sourced from around the world, local makers, education, community, and giving back.

Supporting artists and small businesses matters to us because we are one.

We appreciate everyone who has supported our little shop over the years, and we will continue listening, learning, and doing our best to make Artworks of Nature a place our community can feel good about supporting. ❤️

The stronger point for Artworks of Nature is this: we were not using AI to copy a local artist’s work, sell AI artwork as handmade, or replace a paid artist we had hired. We used it to create a Facebook crystal riddle and a graphic explaining our charitable mission. That distinction matters.

🌎 Your Dollar Travels the World at Artworks of Nature

When you shop at Artworks of Nature, your purchase can do more than bring home something beautiful.

We intentionally seek out products with a story — fair-trade and artisan goods from places like Nepal and Guatemala, products that support animal rescue and other causes, and stones sourced as directly as possible from their countries of origin, helping us reduce unnecessary middlemen and keep our prices reasonable.

And this mission is personal to us. Artworks is connected to Life’s Path, Inc., our 501(c)(3) nonprofit and school in Haiti, which has been educating children since 2010 and is now expanding into vocational training and opportunities for greater self-sufficiency.

Shop local. Support global. Make your purchase matter.

🌿 Every purchase has a story — and every dollar has the potential to travel the world.
